Jul. 6th, 2011 10:24 pmSo interesting (if confusing) news is that Schrodinger's Admin:
a) is apparently reaching the end of the period for which she was signed over to our department (though I should point out that this means nothing because she was apparently only signed over to our department for a two-month period ... in August of last year).
b) has taken the next two weeks of. Because of 'stress'. ........Yeah, I'm just throwing that one out there, particularly given that OtherAdmin finished telling me about that with a bitter laugh and the words, "What stress? She doesn't do anything!" Apparently, being asked to do her job is so stressful that she needs two weeks to get over it. What happened to a mental health day? I get needing a mental health day. I need one from time to time. But I do not tend to need a mental health fortnight. Physical health fortnight? Sometimes, but a lot less lately. I suppose she might have other stuff going on at home, but ... she's not taking this as holiday. She is taking this as sick leave. I just ... don't even.
In other news, in my bid to try all the classes and races in Warcrack, I started up a Blood Elf Paladin the other day. I started off not being overly impressed - I hate melee classes because I have never played a tank class in my life and tend not to like the idea of getting comprehensively mobbed. Well, not when soloing, anyway, because there's no one to pull one's arse out of the fire. Which I guess is why Paladin comes in handy - heal thyself, n'all. I think I fell in love around the time I got surrounded by three mobs at my level ... and survived. I still don't like having to chase mobs around so I can hit them (though there's a Dia-equivalent that works well in that sort of situation) but LOVING the whole thing where I can be jumped by three mobs and not worry about it. Going back to mage classes is going to be tricky after this...
