I haven't posted in forever.
In WoW I made 60 easy, got MC attuned and pretty much stopped with a few hundred gold and whatnot because I can't not have a life.
In CSS I played the entire season with 3XB and finished 7-3-0 where I got cut for getting a job where I worked 40 hours a week. Apparently scheduling around me can't be done, but it can for others. That's why 3XB loses half their roster every season and will probably be in Open again soon enough. I joined some CAL-O team called #exempt but I have fears if they are able to be mature enough to stick together after the first match, even though they have a high skill level compared to most of Open.
I started school again (Business Admin) and it is going quite well. I need to look into information for my potential business plan due to government regulations that may rape the hell out of the idea.
I am looking at buying a car that is under $6,000 CAD and preferably RWD, 5-speed, and fast as hell or able to be. Mustangs really appeal in the 94+ flavour and I might look at an 87 RX-7 Turbo in 2 days. They can make 400hp rather easy.
Lastly, I am finally going to buy a new computer some time before Christmas with the top of the line everything and a new case to go with it. This is going to be fucking great.

Shrug
Nothing much new lately. Started botting in WoW and made some very good progress. Currently at 56 with my Hunter and working on making some good bling before I transfer over to a different server with some friends once it's possible.
CSS is going well with 3XB and a current 3-1 record, which will keep going as strong in the future.

A New Update
Now that school is over (has been since the end of April), I've been getting a lot done. Ok I'm being sarcastic. I'm searching for a job currently at basically any place that will hire me. It's not been too fun so far. I try again tommorow at the mall as I've applied at about 4 different places thus far.
As for gaming, I started Diablo 2 but finished it in about a month or so. I know why I quit it in the first place. It doesn't take very long to start. Once you have a cheap MF Sorc you can get NM Meph killed in just a few minutes (using maphack of course) and this is basically your starting point. Then you level up again in the Baal runs and start MFing Hell Meph. Seeing as he can drop almost anything in the game when it comes to usefulness (Shako and Stormshield, I'm looking at you), he is a prime choice.
Then comes the botting. D2JSP is of course, still around. It is "detectable" in the sense that Blizzard can detect you're using it, but won't ban you. Using the bot to MF Meph, Pindle, and Andariel primarily you can find almost anything in the game. At this point, you can afford to make fun PvP characters or what have you. Due to 1.10+ changing the game around, syngeries made the Hammerdin a viable build again. So viable, in fact, that he is the strongest rushing character in the game. 3k+ hp, 75 block and teleport makes him everything the Sorc is and more. However, he is more of a killing character, whereas a Sorc would be going for huge MF (500+ easily) while still retaining some killing power.
Anyhow, as I stated I actually quit the game. However, I still run 2 bots (Sorc and Hammerdin) regularly just for fun. My new vice? WoW. Yes I started WoW again. I played from about Dec 05->mid-Jan 06. Quit because having no friends in the game makes it rather pointless. I started again, this time on a server with Devon as an Orc Hunter. It's rather fun as I've gotten to 24 in 4 days (1 day, 14 hours played). Hopefully I can make 60 in a month or two.

Life Lessons
Throughout life we learn many things. Some of these things are taught in places of institution, but the vital skills that humans learn are learnt over the course of life.
Independence is something we do not learn until later in life. Independence usually comes for most around the age of 18, but it can happen earlier or later, depending on circumstances. Independence is the ability to utilise what skills and knowledge you have learnt and use them in life. Independence also goes hand-in-hand with confidence. In nature, without independence death will ensue once the supporter inevitably dies.
Mistakes are something many think they could do without. This is clearly not the truth. Many of us haven’t made that big of mistakes yet, but we are still young, and clearly mistakes can be made. Mistakes aren’t bad, they are lessons. However, making the same mistakes repeatedly is probably a sign of something wrong, because even a dog can learn from mistakes. Cats are another story.
The most important thing in life is to do something you like. Nobody wants to be forced to attend a prestigious university to learn how to do something they hate. A man I know went to law school for years before deciding it wasn’t what he wanted. He decided to go an entirely different route and became a certified prosthetician and orthotist. He loves his new job, although it took him a few years longer than it would have if he knew what he wanted right away. But then again, who does?
These are some of the things I have learnt in life. They have helped me in life and will continue to do so.

Email Professionalism: Basic Rules
Email can be an extremely useful tool for communications when done properly. Email, like any other form of writing, has rules that are designed to keep up a certain level of professionalism. Listed throughout are some guidelines to follow.
The main problem with emails is that they’re extremely fast, and therefore, tend to be extremely informal. Most think of emails as passing notes in the classroom. While this may be fine for friends, it is grossly inappropriate in a professional setting where you are representing a business and dealing with customers.
In writing an email, it should be done professionally in all aspects. Writing is for your reader. You write to give them something, and when your writing is poor it reflects poorly on yourself. Remember to use a proper tone and formality throughout your emails, whether it’s the first email or the 8th in a series of replies.
Just because emails are fast doesn’t mean that the normal rules of grammar and spelling can be overlooked. Spell-check your work and re-read it multiple times to ensure that it is coherent, professional, and uses the right tone. Incoherent emails from a professional business are not what you want.
Salutations and closing should always appear in an email in a professional manner. Keep it professional and make sure your email signature is in an eligible font.
Keep emails short. We aren’t writing a novel and the person receiving these doesn’t have a day to read it. Short paragraphs get read. You are using paragraphs aren’t you?
Humour and sarcasm are not good in professional emails. In today’s world of sue now ask questions later, it is always best to avoid offending your readers.
Proper punctuation should be used in emails. DO NOT YELL AT YOUR READERS!!!!!!!!!!!! And question marks should be used to ask questions, not periods.
Lastly, make sure that the font you choose is appropriate. Use a black, size 12 Times New Roman/Verdana/Tahoma font that is clear, simple to read, and black. Nobody wants to translate wingdings.
Email is one of the most used types of communication today for a business. Keeping a certain level of professionalism is extremely important and knowing how to write a proper email is a part of that.

There is a problem with keys not being issued correctly. This e-mails details on how we plan to deal with it.
