I just leveled IRL! (In Real Life). ...
In some games you work for Experience Points or 'XP'. When you gain a certain amount of XP, you gain a level, some gamers say "DING!" or (Wooties! in my case) to signify their level gained. Gaining a level can get you more loot, higher stats and gain you access to harder levels or areas where you can gain further XP.
Well, for some of us geeks, games can transcend to Real Life in many ways. You grind away XP while at work or doing real life stuffs and eventually (hopefully) you gain an RL level and or loot. That's what makes the grind worth it all.
I've worked at my current employer for 4 years now and have learned immensely. I have no doubt that no other job could have given me such diverse experience points. Aside from the great XP, I've created great friendships both inside the organization and through many a great client.
I'm going to miss them all.
I have decided that my life is at a point where I need to move to another 'instance' in order to gain higher levels. I've accepted a new job and I'm very stoked and hopefully will grind much XP and gain many a level at this new job.
GG all!
