The easy way, the hard way... (WoW, RP)

thistlechaserIcon is Little Dog, Haken and Morn's second wolf. RPing having a puppy around sure was fun! And I'm dying to start in on puppy RP again, even though the circumstances will be very different this time around.
As much as I love RP, yesterday I was feeling way too sick to do it. So what to do when you're sick? Why, something you hate of course! :P I quested. Ugh. Clove went from 12 to 20 so he could get a mount. (Does everyone remember how god awful Org is on foot?) I know the low levels go fast, but I've never done so much questing in a day before. Still! Felpony! EEE! I love that mount so much.
Today Reed needed some love, since he's still on foot. (I wish I'd stop being iffy about the name! If I'm going to reroll him, sooner is better than later! Plus he got a fishing pole from his reward bag already!) I quested for a while, but just couldn't put up with it. 12-15, then I said hey, why not try a dungeon. Oh my god, so much faster than questing! I got a level and a half in one single run! Gah! Plus we had no tank so I kept soloing my own mobs. Paladin is fun!
Friday is Naxx with friends for RP gear. Also, somehow tonight was the first time Thistle RPed not in his gear -- WTF, how does my main RP character not have any non-armor gear? Luckily he was wearing a black shirt under his armor, so I was able to use that as "casual".
RP tonight was great! I love most any kind of posts, long, short, medium, average, anything, but getting to write as much as I like with someone who writes as much as I do is rare. Buffer? We don't need no steenkin buffer! ...pretend that works.
Anyway, the RP was tons of fun, our characters just mesh so perfectly. Unfortunately the RL hour interrupted things, but IC SLUMBER PARTY! :D Thistle is staying over at his place tonight, which is just cute as a button.
Today, really, really, really feels like Friday. Tomorrow is going to be so hard to go to work! Oddly (but happily!) Taco Bell didn't make me sick at all, not even one little bit, so I guess I could have safely kept free dinner Friday on Friday.
Oh! And one last thing! Blizz posted an "day in the life" of one of their QA people, since QA work is about a third of my job, I was really interested in seeing what it's like in other companies. Two impressions from it: UGH SO UNPROFESSIONAL, I know it's a little thing, but people in a meeting at my company would not throw candy at each other. The whole thing felt really way too casual, too. The second thing was that apparently you can't compare QA stuff across two vastly different companies. There was very little in common between us and them, other than terms like "smoke testing", which are pretty generic. It was fun to see what they include in their smoke testing though!
