So...

I'm back on my old schedule at work - Tuesday through Saturday nights. Nobody informed me of this though (and apparently, I missed it when I looked at the schedule), so when I went in tonight, they were like "Dude, why are you here?"

So I went back home.

I also don't work this Thursday or Friday, because we're closing the store at midnight. So this week, it's two nights on, two nights off, one night on, two nights off.

And I have to find out if I can adjust my vacation time request for the end of July.

But I once again have Sunday and Monday nights off. Which means that I can watch the Sunday night Cartoon Network lineup again, as well as WWE. (And there couldn't be a better time to come back to pro-wrestling, as I should no longer have to watch HHH on Monday Night RAW. He's one helluva wrestler, but I am damn tired of watching him either constantly be the champ or be in the running to be the champ.)

So I've started playing World of Warcraft again

I'm alternating between playing my only level 70 character (a human rogue), and finally giving a Horde character a decent try. I have to say, though, the fact that all the Horde cities were laid out by morons with no sense of urban planning is not helping this any, and the general lack of good posture is not enticing either.

With my rogue, I'm realizing how insanely easy it is to get Shattered Sun reputation. There are easily a dozen daily quests that give between 150-250 rep per quest. And thanks to the human bonus, I'm gaining rep even faster. The drawback to all this rep? There's actually nothing here for me to use it for, until I get to Exalted.

You see, once again, Blizzard added a faction that offers nothing to Engineers. There's another dozen or so Jewelcrafting rep rewards, but nothing for Engineering. (To date, there are four rep rewards for Engineering, two of which almost no-one goes for any more, and one of which is a green smoke flare.) Wrath of the Lich King (the next expansion) is supposed to address this (hahahahahaha), but we'll see.

Edit: Jesus H. Tap-dancing Christ, is it double-extra-retard day on the forums?

Okay, I have to admire the balls on this stance

Zimbabwe President's spokesman tells West to "go hang".

I mean, you really have to admire the sheer effrontery in telling the Western world to piss off.
