I've left the guild I've been in since launch. It was kind of traumatic. I've played with the guild leader since Butcherblock Mountains. I'm aware this makes absolutely no sense to most of you. But in the end it was kind of a "it's not you, it's me" thing. I just wasn't happy there. The game is supposed to be fun, and it wasn't. I deal with so many social, economic, and political constraints in real life; do I honestly need to have my gaming schedule dictated to me and have prohibitions on with whom and where I raid? As much as I hate change and as much as I was sorry to leave, I think it's for the best. I've respecced balance, and it's so nice to really concentrate on one spec and one outfit. Well, mostly one outfit.
We've ordered two cubic yards of top soil and a kwanzan cherry tree. They should be delivered tomorrow. Hopefully the little retaining wall we built this weekend will hold up to the raised planting bed. We've also filled 3/4 of our trash can with dandelions. And the yard's only maybe 30% clear of them. Perhaps the weed killer Chris spread on Sunday will start eliminating some more, but I was expecting more dramatic results, like in cartoons or those neat time-lapse commercials. You mean I have to wait at least a week!?!?!
Work is getting more difficult. With the weather getting (mostly) nicer, I just don't feel like being here. I mean, it's not like I'm taking shelter from the snow in here anymore. I've got a prime window view of everyone leaving the office to head home, or to the store, or the park, or out to eat, just away from the stale office air and gentle glow of the lcd screen. Grrr.
fed up with your indigestion
swallow words one by one
your folks got high at a quarter to five
don’t you feel you’re growing up undone
