When you WFH it is advisable to be dressed in normal clothes so the postman and various parcel courier drivers don't get a shock.

Enjoy your self control.

I hope your company grows and you are successful. I admire anyone with the balls to take the jump.

No. My management experience extends a lot further. But in the end I decided I'd rather do my own thing than be part of a corporate machine.

And the random cross realm raid finder. What a disaster they are!

That free boost of one toon to 100 kind of kills it. But wow, you can timewalk back to Deadmines!
