So close, yet so far (mostly FFXI)
Jan. 16th, 2006 08:51 pmHad a day off, which was nice. Went out to lunch, which was nice. Was all de-stressed (which was nice) until a couple hours ago (which was not so nice).
Got into an okay XP party early this morning (about 9:30 AM), but unfortunately as people leveled and switched out it got pretty bad (nothing like a multi-minute fight for 80 XP). But "luckily" the server apparently kicked a bunch of people off, me included, so I got out of the party. (Four of six people lost their connection.)
I had intended to ding 74 in that party, but since I got dropped I didn't. I was hoping Eco and Escort would be good enough to ding... but they weren't. I'm at less than 400 XP to level 74. Grr grr grr grr. So very frustrating. Partied for almost 5 hours (11K XP total made, with band). Eco run from hell (the roughest one I've ever seen), and a normal Escort.
Idiotic arguments on LS and Eco have my neck so stiff I can't turn my head. *sigh*
But anyway, other stuff.
I usually hate text in macros, but this PLD's were cute. This one was my favorite:

But before him I had a blast from the past. Remember this PLD from months ago?

Well he's still around and not much improved. He argued that the Windower wasn't against the ToS and told us what he intended to do about them banning people who use it:

And remember how he refused to voke because it was (quote) too much work? Ha ha:

(He kept messing up our SC. The WAR was voking before WSing so it'd turn and I could SATA onto PLD.)
So all and all, highly frustrated and stressed.
I just need to get to 75, and then I'll be done. Whatever that means. (Don't ask me because seriously I don't know, and even if I did know tonight tomorrow the answer would be different.)
