The Quest Giver

More and more I see my life through the viewpoint of a person playing a very realistic MMORPG.

MMOs are adventerous and a lot of fun. But the MMO we call IRL is the best one yet. I've decided to play IRL the way I want to play it, not how everyone else want me to play.

A few days ago, maybe a week ago, I put in my resignation notice at work. My last day is July 1st, 2011. Incidentally, I'm going skydiving for the second time on July 2nd with some friends.

Since I put in my notice to work, I've been very exhuberant about life. I can't wait for the adventure to fully begin. Until then, I need to start gathering supplies and tying up any loose ends. People are asking me what I'm going to do. I don't really know what to tell them. I'm just going flow with the river of life.

So the Insight cable man came by my house yesterday. He wanted to know how my recently installed internet service was working out.(as it happens, I'm paying extra for turbo service (15Mbit) but I'm not getting the speeds. the tech that came out told me there's 500 to 1000 customers all using the same 42Mbit switch. upgrade your damn network!). After some conversation, I told him my plan to go adventuring and he gives me my first quest!

The cable guy tells me about a city I would really like called Cooke City, Montana. He proceded to tell me about why it is a good location and a man that I should talk to named Tom. I will know Tim because he drinks Moose Drool beer at the Elk Head Hotel. He wrote the details on a bright orange flyer and gives it to me. This is EXACTLY like the type of quest in World Warcraft (and probably other games) that helps you advance the storyline! Very exciting.

Cooke City won't be my first destination, as I have a few stops to make along the way, but I'll make it there eventually, Hopefully while the weather is warm. Here is a link to Cooke City.

Until next time, enjoy your life's quest and stay safe.
