Tempus h8 Locke /cry
I guess sometimes I wonder if Tempus wants me gone because he doesn't like me, or if he wants what's best for me. Would love to have a drink and discuss sometime!
Anyhow, MBA progress - which is one of the several reasons I walked away from FFXI: I started studying for my GMAT exam and it's going well so far. I have the next week off work to study for it, test is next Wednesday. After the exam I need to either retake the GMAT (which = suck because it costs $250) depending on score, or start working on my application should I do well.
For the app I have to write a stupid essay, submit my transcripts, and have my references submit recommendations. Depending on how they like me, I may need to interview before the MBA committee, which I pray to fucking Altana doesn't have to happen. That would suck worse than if Miruuk didn't raise me that one time I delevelled to 59.
If all goes well, I would be accepted into the program in April, which would give me 4 months before classes start in August. I'd like to play some FFXI, hit 75, beat up on Kirin, and maybe do some goldsmithing during this time. I'm trying to use FFXI to motivate me to get enrolled asap. Sooner I do that, sooner I can play.
When school starts, I'm spending 30 grand out of my own pockets to get an MBA; FFXI isn't appealing enough to shit that kind of money away. If it's even remotely a problem I'll just do what I did in January and delete for good. Otherwise I'll just play 1-2 days a week (die-namis?), or just cancel my content ID during the spring/fall semesters.
At the same time I have to focus at work, and not read and obsess about FFXI stuff on the clock all day, which I still do more than I should sometimes. I was having a rough time with my job for awhile, which is I think why I got so carried away. My boss got her wrist slapped for being an ASSSS to her employees, and things have been going much better this year. That, combined with looking forward to school has allowed me to have goals other than FFXI stuff, should keep me outta trouble. If not, ~delete~ forever.

"DRK replace THF" is a peev of THF's. But since I quit like Tempus points out in all his reponses to me, I guess I shouldn't post anymore.

Mirowr already has a testimony, I remember he got it. You should just kill Maat, way faster and easier than stealing. If your xbow skill is up, bolts will proc at around 50% from what I saw. There's a video of some elf thf kicking maats ass in alla thf forum without any uber gear (he did have that +15 evasion ring).

" We cant do anything about Japanese hogging mobs, there is an issue there and it is being addressed as we speak...I love that GM tactic. "Thank you for reporting the problem. There is currently no violation of the rules taking place...oh wait, can you hold for a moment? I just received word that the problem you addressed is currently being looked at! It's being worked on as we speak!" 15 months later and still nothing has been done.

Not sure what's taken them so long to finally start selling FFXI merchandise. All the shirts are on backorder now.

I know the ED site is partly php but locke told me that it was just a package he purchased so i dont think he did any real codin himself. I may be wrong though. PHP isn't as user friendly to beginners as ASP, Microsoft's answer to server side scripting. I have coded webpages in PHP, PERL, JSP, ASP; just about everything except Cold Fusion and .net. As far as help goes, sure - just ask me on the ED site. It's the only site I check every day. The ED site is a free, fully customizable content management system called PHP Nuke.

Bah! Even if I really urged to comeback, I deleted that little-shit midget. I did the same, called and had it restored. So did Stahn. My char was back the next day.

Just come back, do Sky with your LS. I left because I was spending too much time, but my playtime is down to about 5-6 hours a week or so.
Not sure why you left, but come back!
