Ooo, I see. Changing a hoarding habit must not be easy at all D: All the extra cleaning won't be good on your leg either D: I hope you guys manage to make the situation more healthy!

I'm good. We're leaving for madagascar in a couple hours, so that'll be fun!

Darn, missed that D:

Yay, grats on getting that achievement finished up. And yup selling for profit is good too! Mh, well. I mean there are still quite a few we can get for cheaper I'll bet.

Yeah I know O_o Some are hard to get a hold of though.

Ah I figured. I send you a doll instead :D

Woot on getting the books! I'm not going to be able to get most of them because I'm leaving :( But at least I got a few that I liked. And there's always next year! I love the nebula skin too!

Congrats on the achievements! I'm hoarding pumpkins for the deleter one. That'll take a while to get though O_o

I'm off soon :) Will be away for two weeks or a little more. Hope you guys enjoy the rest of morostide and real life halloween!

Yeah I'm hoarding as well.. for feeding, too! Definitely going to take some time.

GAH. I got 742 on Spectrail. SERIOUSLY?!

When are you leaving? :) I just got the cobra tail one. It's kind of neat so I might try to use it later.

Definitely lots cheaper! And so many where I have everything but 1 or 2 items.

I know I'm getting tons of dupes. It sucks that I still need something from every ToT section.

Thanks for the doll :) Only a couple left!

Yay they added the new pumpkins for deleter!

That sucks about spectrail but you should get top score, right? I think I got it around that or less.

Yay! Have you started deleting? I had that achievement already :(

Got the day off today! What upppp!

I think I've deleted about 300, mostly from last year. I deleted about 50 earlier in the week, not realizing they didn't count at the time :(

I also need to finish the feeding carved pumpkins one. I'm at about 370/500 on that one, I think.

So many pumpkins needed!

Yay for a day off! I had to come into the office because my boss scheduled a meeting for me, yay! :/

I've carved the 500, and found the 500 floating. Just gotta feed and delete now, and then that's it for pumpkin achievements ;) Still so far off.

Got the top tier TPing and egging done with.. so unless you still need to be egged or TPed I'm going to stop.

Yes and no for the yay! If I don't go in I don't get paid.. but whatever XP OH! I got a small raise yesterday!

So many pumpkin things to do, which to do first? I think I'll probably finish feeding first, because I only (only, ha) need a 100-something.

I need to be both egged and TPed, but don't worry about it :) I can do the claim above boards, it's not a huge deal. I've made a lot of progress on both. 60/100 on both now.

Yay, that must feel good. Did you ask for it, or was it offered to you?

I think I'm going to go for the feeding one first since it's all carved pumpkins and I already have a ton of those from this and last year.

I asked for it in a meeting last week. I only got a dollar raise, but it's way better than nothing!

I saved all my extra carved pumpkins from last year, too. I thought they might be worth something eventually, but it looks like there were just way too many of them produced. It's only the special, limited editions from last year that are worth anything.

BTW - make sure to carve all the pumpkins you get from the morostide battle challengers. They have a chance to give you carved pumpkins from any year and they're all worth more than the uncarved ones. I got a few of last year's limited editions and made a few easy mil.

That's great! You should always ask if you feel you deserve it. Women tend not to, but we should!

I don't think the floating items ever actually inflate much. But I did the same. Hoarded them in hopes they'd go up in price xP Maybe I'll clean out the "Hoard" section of my vault and sell off some stuff.

I noticed that! So do they only give pumpkins in your first 10 battles against them?

I just felt like my pay didn't at all reflect the amount of work I do. And my bosses both know it. So I asked for way more than $1, but I got $1.. but I'll take it. And she complimented the heck out of me and said she actually appreciated my honesty in talking to her about a raise.

Yeah, I think I'll just toss them all in my shop, or feed them off. You might find some gems, so do it!

Yeah, all challengers (year round ones too) only drop items and give good EXP/sP for the first 10 battles. So that all the items don't get too depreciated, I assume. On the 5th battle most challengers drop unique or special items. Any battles after that you only get a measly amount of EXP.

The worst they can say is no, and then you carry on. They probably need you as much as you need them, or more. I feel the same way about being owed a raise, but I work for a very small company, so I know it probably won't happen. I've capped out, so I'm looking elsewhere and seeing what's out there. I have an interview on Tuesday :)

Okay so I probably already got all the pumpkins from challengers that I'm going to get. I can't beat anyone higher yet unless I gain a tier, pretty much :(

Just got top tier Pumpkin Patch! I still wanna visit, though. So many items I still need!

Take your own advice! The worst they could say is no ;)

Where's the interview?!

Ah boo. There's always next year? Just keep chipping away at training. Doing BQ really helps gain levels quickly.

I'm actually hoping to leave, so it seems kind of shady to ask for a raise than leave! Otherwise I totally would. And if the opportunities I have lined up don't turn into anything, I'll probably do just that.

It's actually right downtown, at a big agency located at Yonge&Bloor :) I'm excited to (potentially, knock on wood) work with big clients rather than small businesses.

Yeah I've been trying to do my BQ daily to get the XP! I MIGHT be able to beat one more challenger for the achievement, at least. So close the last few times I tried so maybe today after BQ I'll go for it!

Too true. Haha. I'm actually probably leaving in the new year, but we'll see what happens!

That's amazing!! Would your commute be a little easier?

Nice! You're doing more than I am at the moment. I'm barely even been doing quests, let alone battle stuff. I get so wrapped up in the morostide stuff. Though I'm gonna be doing Cinthia and Pete for the rest of the month! Free retired stuff, yay.

The new year is quite awhile away though. It seems justified to get a raise for a handful of months :) Getting a raise and leaving less than a month later, though.... eh. Also, I'm salaried, so it seems even worse than asking for a per-hour raise :P

WAY easier. Down from about 2 hrs to 1 hr. And cheaper, since I wouldn't be GO bussing it. And it's actually downtown, where I eventually want to live - if I can ever afford it :P

Yeah I'm LOVING the retired stuff. Was that announced somewhere?

Sounds like it could be raelly good for you then!

I FINALLY showered. Step 1 for today. xP

Yeah, it was announced on the news page last night, I believe. Cinthia's giving out old patch items and Pete's giving out old ToT items - it'll be nice to pick up some collectibles or achievement items. I didn't get very many items but I got one really good one - a 20m chocoholic achievement item. I only need more more item for that achievement.

It would be awesome. But I hate interviewing so much. I really need to prepare myself.

Woohoo for progress. Showering is a major achievement somedays! What other big plans do you have today? ;)

Oooh I've been slowly working away at the food and book achievements too. I have most of what I need on my WL so when I get something from a quest it's easy to know xD

Interviews are definitely not so fun.. but just be yourself! They can read confidence xD

Hah I actually have a ton to do today. I have some food prep to do for our little mini vacation this weekend.. and I gotta do some Jamberry stuff and pack and make pizza dough for dinner xP And then I'm going shopping after dinner with Nathan's sister for a pair of boots. I DESPERATELY need some so that I can wear a ton of outfits that I want to to work this winter. It just doesn't look the same with a pair of flats.. and my feet always freeze! Plus with my little mini raise and my birthday next week I'm treating myself ;)

That's awesome. I've got achievements and beanbags on my list, but that's it. I was too lazy to start adding all the plushies, books and stickers and things like that. It would be useful... but for now I can handle account searching everything :P

Easier said than done :) I tend to think employers dislike rehearsed people, but it's tempting to have all your answers ready!

Ooh, vacation? Where are you going? That does sound quite busy. Ohh boots are the best. Sounds like you're looking for fancy ones? They can really pull together an outfit, either dressy or casual.

I still haven't been called into my meeting yet. It was supposed to be at 11 (!) She's still on the trainer before me, and has been here since 10. This lady sure can talk.
