This is the Operator; how may I direct your call?

Filling in today in the city. The office building where I'm in is just a few blocks south of Maine South, and it's a triangle.

No, seriously. A perfect, equilateral 60-degree-angle-on-all-corners triangle. Not a square or a squashed rectangle.

It's great fun.

I had been here before, about nine months earlier, so I came back last week to brush up for today. In addition to mailing services, I am doing reception work.

I rather like reception work. Answer the phone, drag-and-drop on the computer to transfer it through. Answer the phone, drag-and-drop. Simple and relaxing.



I found out this weekend that it is not good to go to Booty Bay or Stormwind when your father is eating the bandwidth downloading an entire season of Hex at once. Even Thunder Bluff, which normally is choppy-but-manageable on Felix, was threatening to freeze me in place just off the lift.

I also found out that Skywall is definitely worse for my computer than Thunderhorn is, that female dwarves have this whole bishoujo twirly-braid thing when they're casting a spell, that a level seven paladin will aggro every single dinosaur in a 500-foot radius when walking from Goldshire to Booty Bay, and that goblins are kinda cute.

I am searching now for the type of memory that will work in an HP Vectra that was the top-top end machine of its time. I'm hoping to go all the way to 1024, though 512 will be fine if I can get it.

If anyone knows what I'm looking for, let me know.

At least you got a bit of xp for those dinos that I ended up giving the smack-down.

The only disadvantage I can see about not being able to go into major cities is that is usually where all the trainers are.

When you get to where you want to go to the Deadmines, let me know. I've tanked people through there before.

I braved Stormwind to get weapons training and deposited a quest. Took a long time to go through. I'll try again tonight to get my Mining profession.

Don't forget to get the fp while you're in Stormwind. (It's up a ramp from the Trade District.) That is... if you haven't already done it.

Have you been to Ironforge? After you get mining from the Dwarven Sector, you're over by where the tram is. You can take it over to IF and from there make the run to get the Loch Modan and (if escorted) Wetlands fps. (Wetlands isn't nearly as bad as STV) Once you've got Wetlands, it's easy to fly there from anywhere to catch the boat to Darkshore where the boat/flights to Darnassus are.

It will probably take me two hours to get from Goldshire to where it is I need to get to Darkshore.

Possibly less if your father isn't leeching bandwidth and it wasn't 'double rep' weekend in one of the battlegrounds. XD

[alliancesjr.livejournal.com]

Double Rep? Okay, that would probably explain it. I'll hop on Skywall tonight and see if I can make a run through Stormwind.

I find working reception oddly soothing, although I wouldn't like to do it all the time. The repetitiveness, I suppose.

I havent been to Booty Bay yet, but if its what I think it is, Hex is definitely more fun.

[alliancesjr.livejournal.com]

Faction-neutral city in World of Warcraft. I don't have enough memory to go there.

[beow11.livejournal.com]

... Im so disappointed in you. Something called "Booty Bay" and no booties? Tsk tsk.

[alliancesjr.livejournal.com]

You're probably one of the only people I know that can hear the phrase "Plundering Booty" and not once think of pirates. XD

[beow11.livejournal.com]

Thats not true!

Oh wait, do you mean actual pirates, or women dressed up as pirates?....

[alliancesjr.livejournal.com]

Yes.

[nefariousgrey.livejournal.com]

Hex sucks out loud.

We need to get you more important computer bits.
