Our wings are not tired.

I'd say thanks to the found money imp and move on.

I'd go with that one too. The annoyance she has inflicted upon you is worth that much. Doesn't mean you have to acknowledge it.

Keep the money. Maybe she really does feel bad about the way she's behaved. The money is a gift; you have no obligation to change your relationship with her.

Always Anti-fascist!

If you need it, keep it. Although I'm sure telling her to choke on it would be gratifying, sounds like you can't afford to.

Thrive to spite them

I got my computer fixed, the guy at work figured out that there was some kind of AMD software slowing everything down. He said once he went looking he found forum after forum of people complaining about it.

So I fgured, I'll play World of Warcraft again.

Except not. I had an authenticator code tied to my cell phone. My old phone. Which I don't have. And I can't get help without submitting a ticket and the only way to submit a ticket is to log in. And I can't log in with out the authenticator code. Which battle.net doesn't see as legit because it's tied to my old phone.

They did away with their phone service as far as I can tell.

It's the stupidest circle of hell - can't log in then submit a ticke. Then it asks me to log in and then when I can't it says - submit a ticket. I'm going to have Will see if he can get on live chat with someone and ask what the fuck I'm supposed to do about this.

The only way to remove the authenticator code is to speak to someone in person or - submit a ticket with a valid photo id. Which you have to log in to do.

Which I can't.

I've decided to skip the traditional Christmas Day movie this year. Maybe if it was a movie that I cared about more. I'll see The Hobbit on some later Friday. I'll stay home and watch it snow while wearing my comfy robe, try some baked brie that's on sale at the local grocery store because my podunk town doesn't buy the stuff, and drink some cheap sweet wine, with LOTR extras playing in the background. I want to listen to the Hobbits talk about punking each other.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

You can give the cash away if you don't feel right about keeping it.

My gut says her entire goal is to get you to engage and that you should not.

call me jacki; zuisa is an internet nick from ancient times =)

askye, that sucks! I know I removed an authenticator from my account once for a similar reason, and I don't remember having any problems. I didn't know they got rid of their phone support though, I'd always had good luck with that. Maybe try asking on the official WoW forums on the /r/wow subreddit? Surely you can't be the first person to lose a phone and subsequently their authenticator!

Good luck! I just started playing again after being away for 8 months and I'm having a blast.

Will has an active account so he submitted a ticket explaingin the situation because the live chat is down. I'll see what happens from that.

I don't really want to start again but I like meandering aroud the lower levels so I could do that, just kind of sucks to lose my characters if it comes to that.

Also I made some co workers uncomfortable at work today. I didn't mean to. I was in the break room and a bunch of people were in there eating (because they are trying to get everyones meal breaks done by a certain time). The conversation turned someway and I can't remember what happened but soemone mentioned something about crazy (there was talk of absinthe and moonshine...I don't remember how the topic changed) and I tried to make a joke using the line from Night Court "But I'm much better now." (Harry's Dad's line), but of coure no one had even seen Night Court to know what I was talking about.

Anyway someone jokingly asked if I was on meds and instead of quipping back "yeah the good stuff" or something, I just automatically answered "Lithium and klonopin." I almost gave the dosages out of habit. And the guy was like, "oh. I thought we were still joking." and got really quiet. I tried to say that I was joking, I mean I take those but I was joking about my illness. But I don't know because more people came in and it was easier to leave.

I've just decieded to stop being embarassed or ashamed or quiet about having a mental illness or about the painful bladder stuff. It's not something I want to go into details with everyone but I also don't care if people know. As long as everyone treats me the same it's okay.

The one guy, S, who shares the same shrink as I do was in there, if he's working tomorrow I'm going to ask if I really overstepped my bounds and over shared.

There's a guy with diabetes who makes jokes about his illness all the time and people make jokes about it to him and he's fine with it (and his color blindness and his left handedness). I don't want it to be any different than that.
