You of all people should be familiar with Murphie's Law.

Except that women being attracted to non-flaming gay guys is to be expected. It seems that it is perfectly normal and possibly should not be considered going wrong.

Murphey's Law is quite funny, it works in ways it shouldn't and brings the worst possible outcome to an already bad situation.

Murphie's Law is entirely different though. Kind of an in-joke here.

Well, maybe not entirely. But by virtue of us having a regular poster named Murphie, our own version of the law was created.

I already do not like this new person.

We fear change

Indeed.

Which really should give us pause, when it comes to the fact that we're all here because we play(ed) FFXI, which is a game that is based on constant evolution and change.

Took me 5 years to get to 75... then I quit.

*sips drink* ... Yep. Change.

Haha, I guess I am already making friends who are my enemies. Nice to meet you Murphie.

I would have quit at the advent of the level cap increase if I hadn't already quit.

True dat. No way in hell would I ever touch NIN past 37 for sub use.

Nothing is worth that.

Re: Official bored at work / just shooting the shit / no rails to derail thread

Yeah, I had 3 useful jobs (would have been 4 if I'd bothered to finish my WAR before I quit) and one situationally useful job (lolSMN except in sea farming), and the thought of grinding them all out another 24 levels in addition to approximately six subs that don't encompass my main jobs is about as unappealing as it gets.

Not to mention, with the exception of Salvage gear, my RDM and WHM were done. As in, needed no further upgrades. BLM was just about there. It's not like WoW where an expansion obsoletes all of your gear but it's not all that difficult to replace. In XI, it took me three fucking years to get the master head piece for RDM, and fuck your mother if you think I had any interest in going through that shit again. On any of my jobs.

Fun thing is, I wouldn't know anything about that! I never stepped into end-game, not even once! Bwa ha ha!

Well, unless Dynamis counts. Even then, I don't think dying counts as contributing.

Re: Official bored at work / just shooting the shit / no rails to derail thread

For years FFXI was like a drug for me. Or maybe more accurately, an abusive lover. I kept coming back for more, because with each release SE was like "I'm sorry, baby, you know I don't like to hit you, but sometimes you make me so mad." And then I was all "Well, if you've really changed..." and then it hadn't. :/

Re: Official bored at work / just shooting the shit / no rails to derail thread

It's so true.

Okay, I need some help here. I still need to get into my e-mail, because I have an appointment after work, and the address of the place is - you guessed it - in the e-mail. I also need the phone number of the guy I am meeting with, which is also in the damn e-mail.

Now I could google, but that doesn't help when you realize there's a bazillion offices around here and trying to remember which it is will result in anger and frustration, both of which I've already got in abundance anyway.

So now, I either want to find a way into my fucking e-mail or else I'm going to have to drive all the way home (it's quite out of the way) to get into my own laptop and get the info again, which is fucking bullshit and a huge waste of gas. Not to mention it will make me late.

So can you guys help me? As late as last Tuesday I had no problems accessing Hotmail. Even now, I can get into my account, (most of the time) but I can't click into any e-mail to view the content. Sometimes I'm lucky if I even get to see the inbox. And what happens is the browser freezes, and I am forced to close it. I remember coming in to work one day and all of my favorites (all of which were work related and pre-loaded) were gone, and that is quite possibly when it started.

This thing is running IE6 and Windows XP. I tried another computer, just because, and I still ran into the same problem. Am I to assume that it's my user account here at work, or something in Hotmail? I've attempted to get into both of my main Hotmail accounts, and they both do the same thing.

This is fucking frustrating the shit out of me. Help, if you can. Though I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to waste gas and go all the fucking way home for this. ASDFLJKERGDUGPoij;lgk
