Even better for the easing of frustration is a lovely sushi lunch followed by one's office manager extending your lunch break by nearly an hour with chat about life, the universe and funny things, complete with showing Amazon browsing and random YouTube clips. I feel much better and ready to face the afternoon.

And to be fair, beating on things in Warcrack has its own frustrations. Yesterday I spent ... what was it, adelpha, nearly an hour? A goodly amount of time, anyway ... beating on turtles in Tanaris so I could collect a certain kind of clam for that stupid STUPID cooking quest. I wish there were more consistent drops sometimes...
