Comment Re:also reduces IT costs (Score 1) 232

If you're on call it makes it easier to carry one phone at a time. The IT department where I work got mad because I had my blackberry forwarding to my personal cell, so we compromised by just using a Google Voice number for my work number. With that I can set hours to accept calls, easier to manage voicemail, and incoming calls. Also means that I can just turn it off when I'm on PTO.

Not only that, they do get drug tested regularly. Aside from lots of caffeine, I don't know many who keep their jobs that are using. Sure, there's ways to fake those tests, but most of them are just good guys who work for a living. You get into one accident, even if it's not your fault, and you get blood tested. Some places even do hair sample testing depending on how major of an accident it is. I guarantee the guy who rolled the semi in the story is under a LOT of scrutiny right now.

Hopefully he wasn't doing anything he shouldn't have been, but no matter what every aspect of his life is under a magnifying glass for the trucking company and insurance companies investigation.

March '05 I made my account. It was a blast, and you're right, there used to be community. People would talk (or more often flame) in general and you could have a name on your server. Sooner or later that disappeared with cross faction BGs and instances. Up until a couple of patches ago, the guy you just did UBRS with you'll never see again most likely. Even if you did become RealID friends and started queuing together, you still won't get the same friendship as someone on your server.

I log in here and there but I'm debating on just canceling it and putting that $15/mo towards something else, maybe another MMO if I can find the ambition.
