on Feb 12th, 2008First day of work… Life is like a MMORPG game.
I don’t want to work. I want to laze around at home. I want to watch TV and play computer games whenever I feel like it.
I’m getting old and I guess I have to face reality - The Real World.
What’s this “Real World” people always talk about, I’ve heard the dangers and the politics involved… the geeky side of me says “It’s probably just a tougher game”

If life is a game, the past 10 over years of my life was just a prelude to the real game. You start off as a newbie and you decide your character’s build. Some character builds are better than others and may lead to a better character in the end game. I chose the slightly above average path which lead me to a degree in Psychology.
After getting a degree, I decided I might have built my character wrongly and it might have been a mistake to put stat points into Psych which is a very fun class but not very a very specialized class, but too bad for me, this game you cannot restart (nor can you create another character).
So after farming for stat points in the newbie areas for 10+ years, I finally become an Adult. In most MMORPGs you get to chose which class to become after a certain level, in the same way, I have chosen a path towards HR and a people related job. Now I have finally started on my new quests to gain fame points, items and money. The quests may not be as easy as the ones I did when I was still a newbie, but the rewards are much more.
Currently, I am aiming to hit level 10k/month before I reach 30 years old and I want to drive a BMW some day. When will I complete my quests and upgrade my items (I do not currently own a car though)….. I don’t know. But I know when I play MMORPGs, I usually build very good characters.

I’m so tired and I’m going to sleep. Work is really tough. But I’m just another player in this game of Life. What to do? Just do it.
Nice way to relate life to game.
