Part of my job is managing our account with Sprint-Nextel, and last month I ran across a startling discovery that one of my users text messaged 5,996 messages.  That’s insane for any person to do, let alone on an i850 and not a device like the BlackBerry 8830 World Edition.  Needless to say, I ran some statistical analysis on that month’s text messaging, and that user accounted for 45% of the text messages used by my entire organization (If I had more detailed information, I would have attempted to calculate how many of those text messages went to other users inside the organization).

So after upgrading his text message plan (it wasn’t on unlimited) I began to wonder how you could text message so much in a single month.  I believe my highest text message total was less than 400.  So to try to determine this, I have begun training myself to text message more than call in preparation for the next billing cycle, where I will see what it takes to use 6,000 text messages.

Today is the end of an era of gaming for me. Today, I officially deleted all of my characters in World of Warcraft. From this, there is no return to the stage that I had previously left. Two weeks ago I decided to make a return during my time off from school due to boredom, but what I found was that the time availability I had did not allow for me to play the game in its entirety. After using a private server to explore the areas I still wanted to visit (and areas I never thought i would), it was time to part ways with a game that for almost three years has been the cause, and solution to many of life’s problems.

To those who I played with (good guild if your looking to start up WoW), it was fun while it lasted, but we all must go our own separate ways at some point in time. Today was that day for me.  Fuel, Mainwaring, Cinderblock, and Samsaung, the focus of my efforts no longer exist.

School starts on Tuesday, and I will be juggling 15 credit hours and my job responsibilities, which leaves no room the time that WoW requires.  As for where I will be going on from here, Master Chief has been calling my name, and I think on 9.25.07 I will answer his call.
