Couldn't really find a thread my real world rants would fit in, so I decided to make a new thread. Right now I would like to rant about my current situation. I'm sitting in the middle of a desert, and I'm now in day 2 of a nonstop sandstorm. Internet is bad enough in this country, and now Mother Nature has to throw sand everywhere? And what about my laptop, gear, and uniforms? They already don't stay clean for too long, but now I've got sand EVERYWHERE! Seriously, who pissed in Her cornflakes? Oh, I have the most boring job in the world right now. I sit in a metal box 50 feet in the air, and stare at the sand outside base for 8 hours straight. Now, normally most people wouldn't complain about it, thinking it's an easy job, right? However, I'm in a country where a good bit of people want to kill me, and -someone- decides it's a good idea to put me in a shiny white box up in the air? Umm, can someone say "Easy Target"? On the bright side of things, I turned 21 out here, so I didn't get to get wasted for my birthday. Someone tried to tell me to think of this place like a beach. There's a little problem with that. Yes, there's a lot of sand, but I don't see any females in bikinis OR a big body of water. I'm thinking the last two are needed, but what do I know? Anywho, I just thought I'd share a bit of my current situation and how much I Love My Life.

That's all? I think the whole thing would have me upset, especially being targeted.Originally posted by roran View Post
Sorry Vriel, I know it probably doesn't mean much, but hang in there.Comment

3 months. All I got left here. Can't wait. And with the whole Spire thing, I know what happened. There's been a random glitch going on in different rooms where all the items there begin to vanish. But, if said item is located, it is still in that location, but you cannot see it or interact with it. Also, any items dropped in said location during the glitch will become invisible and cannot be interacted with. The cause is unknown, I believe, and the only way to actually get the room fixed is to load it with a bunch of useless crap. Next time this happens, you should log the event and post it in the Bugs section. And before you ask, yes, quest items dropped there should still reset normally. I think I'll try to drop a marked item next time I see this event just to see if I can recall it. My findings will be published!
P.S. Thanks, Cherise. You might not think it means much, but it's always good to know people care about your well being. And Roran... It's not a humid heat. It's a very dry, very hot heat. And it sucks. Good thing is it's starting to cool down. Bad thing is it's about to get really cold over here.You shout "Hello, fifty hens?"
Fifty hens shouts, "Muhahaha"
