I Live!
 

Like, OMFG (or something...)

Yeah so I decided to login tonight. I'm sitting in a coffee house with a bunch of roommates and I'm very bored. Got to chatting with some people and this forum came up. How's Graal going these days?

<edit (seconds later)>
Ok, so I guess you all deserve an exlpanation as to why I suddenly vanished last August. I got as reather heafty promotion back around then. I've spent much of my time at work and after I get home every night I'm in no mood to be on the computer. I feel really bad about leaving people like that. I had just started getting some gears grinding and then *poof* I vanish. bad galen! BAD BAD no cookie for you

<edit (1 min later)>
I really shuould hold off hitting that 'submit' button. ugh. um ok now I forgot what I was going to say. bah. never mind.

So. You going to be posting more or just keep the same lazy activity as you've had for the last couple of years? Also, I remember when we were on Classic and you were in your truck using your computer.

Holy crap .

What's up galen :)

Still admin :O

Hey :)

Nice to see you to see you nice!

Hello

Congrats on the promotion, glad to see things are going well for you :)

Shiftk03-: I could be pursuaded to post more often or heck, even play again! I think I may miss you guys *snif*

HoudiniMan: good to see your still around as well. And yes, it does seem I'm still an admin. Guess someone up stairs still likes me.

Spark: Ah, I see you're moving up in the world.

Moonie: Greets to you as well.

hey dude :)

Oh.

I guess, although it's more that nobody else is moving up and I'm doing many jobs.

No, Graal has just gotten very, very sloppy...

Oh well... Hello, welcome back. I don't know you, but you seem kind enough at the first impression.

Welcome back :)

As far as I'm concerned, you're dead to me. That is what happens when people call me by my account name.

And if they do it again, they get executed like in your sig :eek: ?

Howdy!
Welcome back, Galen.

I never noticed you left to tell you the truth... You've always been "inactive..." hehe :P

Whassup homeboy

It wasn't always like that. Within 6mos of Zeldo Online's inception to Graal's creation and for years beyond I was very active. I only really started to drift away after Cyberjoueurs couldn't afford to keep me on their payroll.

Um...ok then. I am dead.

Awesome to see you still live, dude. You're a great guy :)

How noble of you.

I for one know where he's coming from (and I'm not even paid).

Spark: Some people would love to move up but weren't asked to!

Wanting to move up, and being worthy of moving up, are two totally seperate issues.

As are wanting to move up and the top cheeses thinking they need people to move up.

What ?

The game isn't good enough for him to stick around unless someones paying him ? People pay to play the game, and he won't even stick around unless he is payed. Kind of sad.

Hey Galen, welcome back man!

Hopefully you'll stick around...I've got nothing but fond memories of when you were here. Put on the graal daddy pants, s'il vous plait? :)

When you have other demands in life like a job and school, Graal has to take a back seat to all that. Unless Graal was your job, in which case it would be up front.

I've been juggling finals and working weekends as well as doing PWA stuff during the week, it's quite a busy lifestyle.

You can quit your Graal job then, with no real loss. That's the advantage to not being paid.

Nah. You did good by quoting me by my nickname.
Just don't ever let it happen again or you'll be hearing from my attorney (he also posts on these boards).

What upp Prince VIIGGGOOO you scourge carpathian.

sup dood

If you can't handle it, then quit.

Hello Galen, good to have news from you.

A few weeks ago Angel were telling me she could come back and then no more news.

We will perhaps have yearly news from Angel and Galen ;)

Down boy. I'm not broken so easily ;)

I thought I started seeing Angel on ICQ again :)

Wait, wait, waaaaait. Let me just see if I caught this correctly.

It is good to not be paid for a job, so that when you quit you can say you lost nothing by doing so?

That would be your opinion, however, I have learned alot working on Graal, I wouldn't say it would be no loss....some people work for Graal, because they love it...paid or not.

One advantage doesn't make it good\better.

It is still not a real loss. Many people have to quit activities they enjoy in favor of activites they need to do to advance in life.

If Graal was making it more difficult to attend to your school work or your job, you would be able to quit without any impact on your lifestyle, except more free time.
