Holy fuck, that's exactly right. It's exactly right. I was referencing the right experiments but got the name wrong - SKINNER, not FISHER. The fact that they nefariously plan for this to happen to us (me) is of no surprise. I'll actually see if Jodi wants to read that.
And as far as the jobs around the house go, she's always done more than me, but she only works part time, and some weeks not at all. I have my jobs, garbage & recycling, that I kept up with to go along with the mowing of the grass or shoveling of the snow. Her health issues have been nagging - she's had vertigo off & on with headaches so she's been through the full Canadian ringer of visits with doctors, tests, etc. They've settled on keeping her hormones on an even keel which seems to have helped some, and they got her to knock right off the tylenol and advil, which when over-used can cause some pretty bad symptoms on their own.....
.... so yeah, could I have done more? Likely.... but who among us (that is living with a partner) can honestly say there isn't anything else chore-wise they could have done over the past few weeks? Someone who's pretty god damned resentful I'm guessing.
Oh, and if anyone cares for any insight into the daily keepings of a WoW character - they DON'T use the degradation factor. My guy will have the same shit and same money as he had when I left if I log back in tomorrow, 2 weeks from now or next year. The stuff you do daily to gain money is NOT virtual vacuuming lol, you have professions you can use to sell people crafted items (weapons, armor) that help them. You have repeatable "daily quests" to go and gather or kill stuff that pay you a few gold pieces for doing them, but they don't take much time so you can bang off your allotment of 25 per day in about an hour, give or take. They even have an auction house which makes the economy on your server much more interesting - just how little are you willing to accept for that piece of armor which cost you 1500 gold to make? With 2000-3000 players on each server, you have some stiff competition (though not all of them have the same jobs - there are many primary professions of which you can only ever know 2 at a time - certain professions benefit certain classes - tailoring for cloth armor wearing mages, blacksmithing for plate armor wearing warriors if you catch my drift).
Oh, and in case anyone read that article closely, I had all 5 pcs of tier 10 armor, complete with matching off-set pieces. It looked fucking awesome.
Just want to make sure you're settled & ok.
