BEST. DAY. EVAR.
17 years ago
Okay, so I wake up feeling like crap. And I come in to work to find out that our single biggest bot script, responsible for something like 25% of our business, has broken because the federal government changed their website overnight without notice.
Meaning I had to rewrite the script from the ground up, by myself. By the end of the day.
Sounds like the beginning of epic fail, right? WRONG. It was the beginning of epic WIN. I freaking DID it. I stayed an hour and a half longer than usual to see the testing through to the end, and there's a few minor issues to work through in the coming days, but the job they're paying me to do got DONE.
I was a hero.
And even though I was late for Gruul's Lair for staying late at work, they still let me join after Maulgar and we had our first down of Gruul the Dragonkiller. The T4 pants token for my class didn't drop, but hell--you can't do much better than a one-shot off a face pull on your guild's first kill of a boss.
And later this evening Tomae is coming over and we will do cubby stuff. BEST. DAY. EVAR.
And I even wore my ears to work and everybody was okay with it because hey, April Fool's Day.
AND NO THIS ISN'T AN APRIL FOOL'S JOKE!!! My day actually was like this!!

FA+

X3 Were you given cake after all that work? And grats on Gruul! I've yet to down him @_@
And I was super-awesome-suprised when we downed him. Our main tank died and the offtank took up the slack... which meant that I died from the Hateful Strike or whatever it is soon after, because he'd grown a few times, I was in cat form, and I was in cat form. (the latter two meaning, respectively, that a) I had little mitigation due to being in dps gear and dps form, and b) that I was high on the threat table due to being in dps gear and dps form.)
But when I died, he was at like 4%. And we had enough hunters and warlocks to burn him down the rest of the way!
Plus, the cubby thing don't hurt either, does it? :3
Seriously!
