Goodbye Game'n

So I been away for a bit & on my trip to my mothers I get a call. My BF has lost his job and now we both are jobless.
This is one of those things you don't like to hear even if you know thats it's going to happen. A company goes under but it always shows signs before it's fall. I knew it was coming but just not so soon.

So I been telling all my WoW buddies that I will be freezing my account & will not be on for months to maybe a year. Perhaps longer if I still can't find work.
I have been looking for 3 years with no luck. It's been rather hard to frind money to buy me a candy snack when I feel down.
Change is always placed in a box when we get home so looking in the sofa for spare change is always fruitless.

So now I am looking into commissions again & thankfully I finished one. $35 bucks of a commission but it's money I didn't have before.
I know once I work games will be placed aside so I can sleep & when I can, eat something so I can hopefully get by another day.

I applyed to Staples today & went looking to see what Target had open. I didn't have anything but a sign & unhelpfull Team Members. I shall go again tomorrow with my job sheet to sit & stew at a dirty computer as I type my life away.


My WoW Buddies have been odd as I knew they would be. They can't see the game with out me being out there some where helping lowbies at 3am in the morn. They want to pay for my account but thats not whats wrong I tell them. I have to find a job & with that have limited time to do much. I'm a workaholic and sleep the rest of it away since I work so hard. I will have little time to play unless I get part time (which I rather have) and have to take even full time if thats all they have. A Job is a Job but I hope the stress won't kill me.

My BF has it a bit harder then easier. He is a IT guy who is looking all over for work. He may sit there playing his Xbox 360 but he has 10 Apps floting around waiting for people to say "Hey that one looks good" where I can meet a Manager as I walk in and perhaps get a job right there.

So... am I doomed? For now I think so.

    Quit WoW for now and focus on stabilizing your financial situation. I quit WoW because I always wanted to and I got bored of raiding and PvP so I finally did... I love life without WoW, but my grades in school actually dropped... haha! Best of luck though, it's the right choice.

        I forget the content and stuff that use to absorb so much of me. Like the mage changes. Man I wish I stayed around for icy veins but oh well :p

        Ahhh I just started thinking about stuff I'm missing and I'm getting a WoW urge.... OH GOD! HELP! Must resist....

        lewl I'm not going to lie I was probably the best mediocre mage there ever was. I wasn't a server god lol.

        Hah... I used lewl... That's definitely a WoW habit. Nah I was just tired of playing 24/7, it really took over my life. I'm amazed at how that has changed since I quit. Another plus is that I play a lot more video games, when I played WoW I stopped for no game =)

          Yea one of the negatives I found from quitting though was I was buying 1-2 games a month >.< it was costing me quite a bit. But now only 2 of my friends play (opposed to like th 8 in total initially). so I'm just leveling my alt priest (lvl 63 xD). Do you ever think you'll pick the game up again <.< ?

            Despite the very very rare urge... no. I know it's tempting, very tempting, however I know the consequences and in my rational, non-addicted mind I usually rationalize the situation before I pick it up again :p

            Yeah without WoW, I'm not so much buying a bunch of new games but when I first stopped I played through most of the ones I bought and neglected for the last 2 years since I had WoW, and I liked lot of them so much I'm playing through again, especially on Xbox360, I'm addicted to gamerpoints!

    I totally understand the J.O.B. situation (Journey of the Broke.) Especially now that you're both out of it. But fear not. I truly believe that everything in life happens for a reason, and that every moment of pain we suffer buys us an equal moment of joy. So yes, things are hard, but how much sweeter the good will be when it comes!

    I don't mean any of this to sound trite...I've been bitten by the optimism bug today, and what good is that if you can't pass it on to those around you??? So know that I'll be thinking of you and wishing and praying for you.... But I don't know. I feel like there's something good -- for both of you -- right around the corner. That it's just a matter of sitting back and letting it come.

    Not that you should be less diligent about what you're doing (and definitely give up your electronic crack ... aka WoW)...but, I dunno. Things just feel GOOD for you.

    But I guess we'll see what happens.

    Love and kisses to you both.

      Thank you. Sorry I got this late but I have to say things got worse.
      My kitten is now sick with something we dont know & she can hardly walk. Whats worse is that we have no more money to give to the vet. She's kinda on her own till we find work & it's making me cry to see her have a hard time even reaching her food bowl.

      I am going to put a post on DA about it & see if I can get some commissions for her. Right now she a bit more important then me thinking theres a bright side.

          If it's not 1 thing it's another.
          But thanks for the hugs.
