Ew. If it helps, a lot of people treat tech support and IT people - especially over the phone - just as badly as food service or retail people. :/ we're supposed to work magic! RIGHT NOW JUST FOR YOU!

[TygerDarkstorm]

Yeah, being in one of those departments would suck too. Any customer service related job tends to suck.

After throwing out my back, I'm forced into telephone sales, and nothing beats an entire day of being cussed out by people. Oh, and being told "SPEAK ENGLISH PLEASE!" when I am speaking very clearly with no accent whatsoever. They think everyone in telephone sales is foreign.

[Lupis]

I... feel so incredibly "Blah".
Just... Blah.

[Sarantha]

I feel incredibly pissed. I've been helping a friend camp Karkin/Skarr and Deth'tilac for about 8 hours now and haven't seen any of them. WTF? /cries hunter tears

I want to help people, but somehow I can't seem to manage it!

[Makoes]

I hate how the "A smoked-stained locket" quest is currently bugged out and peope are getting the error message "you do not meet the requirements" for the next quest. So now I had to loss 25rep with them to kill the guy because thats what apparently works to get him to give you the quest since there is no Dire Maul dialogue option available to me from him...I wish he would rez soon...

I've had really bad anxiety for the past year or so; there are just things that I never quite got over and I think I sort of fried something in my brain somehow - at least it feels that way, like half of my life is spent in some empty, disjointed state away from the world, and the other half is being jittery and nervous and frightened of everything. I hate it.

[Morven]

I have anxiety issues, lifelong ones, and it sucks. There are medications that can help to some degree; at least, they do for me. I hope you can find something that helps, medication or otherwise.

Kept dying trying to tame Kirix today, I seen him spawn and figured I see if I could get him. So after he killed me several times, I gave up and repaired. Then I found a you tube video that said u needed a core hound. So I figured ok, I'll go try this one last time. I get up on the rock and hit my Ancient Hysteria and dismiss the pet before hitting tame, I'm watching the tame go down and it's on it's last second. Then just as it's almost done, this other Hunter that also had tried earlier and couldn't do it sends me a msg asking me if he can have him. I'm thinking, it's to late now..had I stopped the tame I would of been killed. Then he starts cussing me out, well buddy you had your turn, and nobody was around when I started the tame. He is my tame fair and square.

There was not enough time for me to let him have the spider anyway, even if I wanted to.

After delivering my pc to school so they could install Vista on it, it doesn't work properly. It randomly freezes while browsing things. I want my XP back, or win 7. Also, Kirix evades the tame at the last second with the haste buff from the rock. Bleh.

[Aleu]

It's too damn hot up here. Five days of 90 degree heat? ARG. I know I have AC, but I still feel it when I step outside the room.

We're stuck down here with faulty AC and can't afford to jack up our power bill. I've been making paper fans all day.

Watching a Horde Hunter try to tame Deth'tilac while he has a DK and another Hunter helping - I tried helping too, but being an ally, they would just pewpew me down whenever they noticed I had ressed.

So Deth goes below 20%... And they just keep attacking him. Especially the DK, so after emoting /go far too many times, I kill the DK and /sorry... But the Hunter who's looking to tame the spider is still Steady Shotting him down. The other Hunter who obviously knows how to do the tame casts Tame Beast, but was too close to Deth and got killed - bringing the spider down to 5m HP. And the Hunter is STILL pewpewing away - and decides to get rid of me. When I ressed again, Deth was dead. :(

I have no intention to tame him myself and have helped multiple Hunters tame him - be it Alliance or Horde. Afterwards I logged a Horde toon to ask if their intention was to kill him, or to tame... To wich they respond that they wanted to tame him. Obviously they had been reading up on it enough to know he has to be low on health, so how is it possible to fail to notice he no longer has the buff during the 5 minutes it took for him to go from 20% to zero!? Especially when there's this Alli hunter constantly emoting /point Deth'tilac /go!


On another note, it's far too hot here too. They say it's just 30 degrees celcius, but all our thermometers show it's more like 36, if not 40. And all these random thunderclouds floating around, peeking in to say hi every now and then... Man I hate living between three big lakes at times. Thunderstorms tend to get stuck here.

[Sarantha]

As I said, I too have lifelong anxiety issues. I am likely on Klonopin for my entire life. I've tried Valium and Xanax and Lorazepam....they didn't work, or only worked for awhile. Xanax was the best of the above, but Klonopin is the best if you want something to last the entire day. Klonopin+Vicodin is also a great combo for anxiety and pain. It gives you a warm fuzzy feeling and no anxiety at all. You just think that no matter what, everything's gonna be alright.

On a side note, my camping of Deth for a friend FINALLY paid off after 12 hours. He spawned on my head and I called my friend over and we tamed him. Still, the long spawn timers are REALLY annoying me. They used to be 2 hours or so.

To take part in the anxiety discussion, I only very recently, three years ago, developed this anxiety disorder, which completely took away my enjoyment for traveling around the country to meet my friends.. Not to mention eating, or hell at worst even being in a public area. There was a point in my life that I couldn't have my stomach full without getting this horrible feeling of throwing up - which in turn led to me being unable to stay inside the house whenever I'd recently eaten.

[Aritria]

I love my mom. I really do. She's been there whenever I need her, and she's been forgiving if I screw up, and we have a really good relationship. However, she's coming down here in about....20 minutes or so, and she has a habit of cleaning things up. Like, OCD cleaning up. She wants to repair things that me and my roommates can easily take care of, when we want to. It's not her job to fix the curtains or blinds, it's not her job to fix my handles for my closet. It's not her place to tighten the screws for the door to my bedroom to stay open.

It's not hers to do, period. She has no investments in this house, she's not the land owner. I get that she wants to have a 'standard of cleanliness and availability' to these sorts of things, if only to make sure that when the land owner (which I think, "Why?" when the landowner lives across this country in Nova Scotia) does come over, it's not in shambles. But really, she has to step away and keep her hands to herself.

When I'm having an anxiety attack I feel like I have a knot of lead in my stomach and can't eat anything. People keep telling me I'm so skinny and need to eat. I do eat when I'm hungry and according to the Drs I'm a healthy weight, but anxiety issues really mess up your appetite. Keeps you thin though. If you want to lose weight, develop an anxiety disorder somehow. It runs in my family, sadly, and it sucks. ><

[Golden]

To me the fact that I was so underweight (36kg back when my anxiety started) was the reason I started developing all these problems.. The closer I got to being normal in weight, the easier the panic attacks became. It took me so long to realize, but not eating was the prime reason for a lot of the weakness and general anxiety I'd been feeling, and that eating would always, always help.

Getting a bit out of topic now... So I'll just say this: damn Spider rares are taunting me, begging me to Collect em All! I already have Kirix (and a common equivalent so I can still have a spider at Molten Front), saw Anthriss up the other day (left her alone, thankfully), just tamed Solix after constantly Eagle Eyeing to him to see if he'd been tamed/killed yet... And helping numerous people tame Deth'tilac. I don't want to collect them all, I don't have the space nor would I ever use even half of them. ;__;

[Miyon]

I can't play. I want to play damnit. Stupid vista. Wow have crashed at least 7 times today, and now I am deleting it and downloading it from blizz' websites. Blergh.

[Litlemouse]

Sooo while randomly wandering around, I decide to go check just for fun to see if Jadefang is up. And he is, so I decide to TRY to get to him, doing many thing to get there (including a disengage+readiness+disengage combo from the other tunnel). During my attempts I noticed a horde, but ignored him. Finally I figured out a technique that worked; letting one of the gyreworms kill me right under the ledge, then flying in as a wisp and rezzing on the ledge. I made it! Now I could... Find a dead Jadefang corpse? -.-

Assumedly it was the horde, as I'm on a low pop server and noone else was in the area.

Oh well, I refuse to move Litlemouse from the ledge until I get him. Sigh.
