...I can't do anything longer than a few minutes before the ugly truth hits me again. My father is dying. It's not something that will go away. He is ill, and he will get weaker and weaker and weaker until it's over. I would have preferred not to mention this on my blog, but real life is kinda forcing my hand since can't do shit without thinking about it. Hopefully, by writing I can clear my thoughts up a bit, because they are confused at best at the moment.
It's amazing how little you can actually do about it. I can take the kids and visit more often, and that's about it. As for myself, I have no clue about how to deal with this so I'm choosing not to do anything. There is nothing I can do anyway.
More than ever I have to watch my temper it seems. I was chasing a car this morning (on my bike, yes) just for cutting me off. I swear, I would have knocked him senseless had he pulled over. Good thing he didn't.
My apologies if this entry makes little sense, not much seems to make sense to me at the moment. I just hope that this relieves a bit of the pressure.

Moo.
Moo indeed. I am back in WoW, but that's not the reason I'm not keeping this blog up to date. My job is the reason. It's too much fun most of the time to just sacrifice and hour in order to come up with a random rant that isn't completely boring to plow through.
However, I have a holiday coming up next week, so right now I have some time to spare. Let's get up to speed with some stuff:
- Why am I back in WoW? Other games just didn't hold up. I'm spoilt by this game, and I fear I may never be able to enjoy another game as I enjoy Warcraft.
- What am I doing? Well, not much. I'm going for random achievements because it's nice to have a specific goal. I've done about four heroics since I got back, and one or two Naxx 10 runs. I also got the Chopper on Vandobben:
Yes, it's a nice ride, and having a passenger along is awesome, especially when you drive out of the Dalaran sewer tunnel into the air, and the druid that is along for the ride remembers to go into flight form just in time. Great stuff.
Vandobben...yes. Both Wraak and Vandy are now girls, and Vandy is ahead in terms of gear, having some naxx runs under her belt. However, Wraak is the character I enjoy playing most. But she's undercapped and undergeared for a DPS job, has no real prot gear for offspec, etc etc. There is loads more work involved into getting her to a playable status.
Work that I did put into Vandobben, and it was exactly that work that made me quit.
That is what's been keeping me busy: who do I go on with? Vandobben has a nice guild, that deserves more of my participation in raids, when I have time (which I don't, but that's another story)And then there is Kavash and Tecrin from Grinding Pains who I enjoy playing with. And who, incidentally, also helped me get my beautious Bronze Drake, or Poo, as I like to call him.
I'd like to focus on one character, at least, I think so. Suggestions are welcome, though it's always a possibility to just continue gearing them both, and see where it leads.(Vandobben needs to get sexchanged back though, female belfs just are too skinny, yech)

Summertime at the best company in the world
So, let me paint you a picture.
It's nearly thirty degrees celsius in our lovely three-story HQ. We just closed last month with reasonable succes, our number one advisor almost hit 40k, I got stuck at around 16k. That was allright, since I had had only two full weeks to get up to speed.
All in all, we are damn confident of the sales team we have now. I love this, pushing for more more and ever more.
MOAR!
because moar!
Oh and the boss buys us beers. Gotta love that!
