Life is messy

Real life is messy and then there are the days its REALLY messy. 

Life for the last month or so for me has been of the REALLY messy kind.

grumpy cat

Most of the time I try to be reasonably well tempered in guild. Sometimes I lose my rag... hopeful its not more often than I realise but sometimes I throw all my toys out of my cot and sulk... tonight was one of those times.

Damned undying

But to my chosen ones who put up with my sulks when someone dies... thank you - I just need a moment then Im all good... 'Tonight you made me laugh hard enough that I was ok before I went to bed.

We all have our gripes.... this bloody achievement is mine!

Raiding and Realm Activity

Today I got distracted thinking about the number of guilds that I personally know of who have gone into hibernation or shut up shop recently. This is a common phenomenon that occurs after new content. People come on play hard, burn out, get bored, then take a break until the next big release.

Because so  many players have taken time out it can sometimes make filling raids  more challenging for those who didnt eat their whole bag of lollies in the first few hours.

Male Chauvanism lives!

Chauvinist is a word that arose because of the over-the-top antics of Nicholas Chauvin.

 (Male chauvinism is a term used to describe the belief that men are superior to woman.)

Many years ago I worked at a decorating store part time. I was employed to advise on wallpaper, decoration and paint supplies. I knew my stuff and was one of the top sales people.

However there were the old school men who would come into the store and have to talk to a man (because the little woman wouldnt know about paint!)
