Gitr Knows WoW

I’ve really got a thing for finding dumb signs, but I don’t have a camera phone because of Company restrictions. Too bad, because these are great:

On an elevator door with a trashcan blocking the way:

Do not use – Broken!

DUH!!! If you have 2 elevators and one is broken, it’s not going to open. Do you really need to discourage people from using something that has no possibility of being used?

This sign was only to be topped by the sign leading out of the parking lot:

CAUTION: Bycyclists and
Pedestrians Hidden in Crosswalk

<blink><blink>

They must have been hidden pretty darn good, because I didn’t see any of them. I hope I didn’t run over any.

Thanks to WoWInsider for the nice link to get new character sigs today. I went over and checked them out, and much to my suprise, I was able to navigate there despite the Company’s firewall.

Here are my fine-looking sigs:

My co-worker just sent me a link to a story, so I had to put it up on my The Weird News Daily blog:

Another day has nearly come and gone, with no word of presenting the database to the big-wigs. On the bright side, though, my boss gave our director access to it last night and showed it to him herself. She said he was floored.

When her answer was that I made it, he was vocally complimentary.

Things are really looking good here in respect to my tool development. With the re-org last week and a new trade group that hasn’t really been fleshed out by the directors in engineering and customer support, it looks promising that I may be able to slide into a training/tool dev/database administrator role in the coming weeks or couple of months.

I stumbled across a deep, dark secret of Azeroth yesterday, and it finally dawned on me as to what I was seeing. If you make your way to the Bazaar in Silvermoon, there is an excellent tailor who set up her shop there under the name Keelen Sheets.

What the public doesn’t know is that there are underpaid, or even enslaved gnomes working downstairs. It all started innocently enough, but it turned ugly after a while. I was using the mana loom to make some Imbued Netherweave Bolts, and I noticed that there were curtains to a back room. Being one of the regulars in her fine shop, I felt quite comfortable to venture back there to see what she keeps behind the curtains.
