I need a new alarm clock...

thistlechaserA little knowledge is a dangerous thing, that applies even to alarm clocks. My clock knows daylight savings time exists, it knows it has to move forward an hour in the spring and back an hour in the fall. It just doesn't know what exact day to do it. It helpfully changed my clock back an hour last night...
Nothing like waking up, checking your watch, and finding you need to be at work in 15 minutes.
Sorry I've not been posting much lately! Life is BUSY. Or rather, my job in the new group is. I haven't taken a lunch break all week, which is depressing as heck. I need to write more about job foo behind a locked post.
I saw my second Romney political ad last night. I swear, if he believes the things being said about him in them, someone should lock him up in a mental hospital. This one claimed that the world hated Obama, but if Romney was elected the world would love America again. (How exactly would that work? "LOVE US OR WE'LL BOMB YOU!!!"?) Reminds me of my favorite bumper sticker: American flag background with the words: Do what we say or we'll bring democracy to your country, too.
I'm feeling less nervous about the election. Most polls/experts I'm hearing are saying it's going to be pretty hard for Romney to win.
WoW is slowing down for me. Less/no time in the morning to play and not going home for lunch to check auctions = I'm getting reamed in the AH game. BUT! I keep telling myself I don't care. I'm crawling slowly towards gold cap again, I'm back at a comfortable (for me) level of gold. I don't like dailies. I'm back to not enjoying the game in general very much (outside of RP). I keep telling myself there's NO reason for me to begrudge putting time towards my paying job over putting it towards WoW. Most days I actually believe that, too.
Speaking of, time to get to work! Even if I'm not posting as much, I do make time to read my friendslist. It's often the bright point of my work day. :)

We think he's several steps in the right direction, and proof that your nation isn't as everything-ist as the shouty people sometimes make it seem. He's quiet and pretty grey, and that's not a bad thing for the person with the biggest boots in international relations. Even better, he hasn't started any more wars for us to help fight.
Romney, on the other hand... yeah. No. Your left is our right, and your right are totally, completely, utterly nucking futs. There are a hundred and one reasons why I don't like Romney, and why the idea of him in the White House for the next four years gives me chills.

NOTHING we do will ever manage that, we've done the smash people and the apology tour and we're still getting attacked. People who ideologically hate us are going to hate us no matter what we do or who we elect. My only argument there is that Obama is more in line with the European government-pays-for-everything thinking and less likely to retaliate on people who want us dead. *coughBENGHAZIcough*
Frankly, I care less about being liked globally than I do about having a strong economy and a strong country that people aren't willing to risk the retaliation of screwing with us. I don't condone war, I'm not saying we should be fighting wars. The LAST thing I want is anyone to get hurt or die, on any side. I am, however, a strong believer in 'peace through strength'. (And minding our own damn business, we never should have messed with trying to establish our idea of democracy the middle east, and Obama is just as guilty of that as Bush, he just used more drones to unseat dictators.)
Also I still maintain you are a closet Capitalist in your WoW Auction House Empire. ;3
