My first week at Blizzard - it was a REALLY weird week. I was transitioning from Console to MMOs. I was walking into my dream job. All the people I knew were BIG NAMES. Like Owen, Ion, and Dave.

And then I got put into the "small" quest office. (There are two.)

Note - I knew people - they did NOT know me. I was that red head girl that got DOUBLE takes from people who were like "WAIT she doesn't belong here!"

So it was WEIRD. And I struggled. I was used to 7 years with people who knew me. And suddenly they didn't.

And there were two people in my office who were super funny and chatty and CLEARLY friends. They LOVED each other, enjoyed each other's company, and clearly had a rapport. And I was "outside" of that.

Until suddenly I wasn't. They just rolled me in.

It was like - one day I went from "The new person sitting over there." to "Oh, she GETS it, let's share all the funny shit!"

And that was the tipping point. I went from "outsider" to "one of the team."

So today is a blend of joy and sadness as both of these people, who I love very much, leave and go off to SUPER COOL NEW ADVENTURES. And I will miss them with every beat of my heart. @EvilDCrab and @CallMeQuestifer - I will miss you every day.

I will do my very best to live up to your example. Building clever funny stuff that people love. And having the puns that make people GROAN SO HARD it hurts.

I love you both so much. You're the best and you'll always be my friends.

Also - if you like anything I made in WoW, thank @CallMeQuestifer - I learned so much from her, and even more, so so much of her stuff is super well made and EASY to learn from which is an underrated quality.
