The Paladinly Fortune Cookie

I was chatting on World of Warcraft. A gnome asked me what I did, and I told him I was an econ major.

To which he replied: "So what else do you do, besides gaming and counting money?"

Well...

actually, that's pretty much it.
SMITE!!

I'm proud to announce that I am no longer a PvP virgin.

This Saturday, me and Jeremy ran a level 27 orc hunter all the way down Stonetalon Peak.

He got away. (Paladin and warrior vs. Aspect of the Cheetah... catching runners = no. We did ensure, however, that all he could do is run... like the little Horde girlie-man that he is. :P)

(But Angie! You outnumbered him two to one! And a level 50 mage joined up with you to frost-shock him!)

HUSH! GREAT VICTORY FOR THE ALLIANCE!

Warsong Gulch, here I come!
So! What's going on with me?

I'm being a research assistant for my econ prof

(Props to Dr. Mitch!)

What I'm doing is I'm cross-referencing 19th century marriage records to the 1851 census in Britain, to see if whether adult literacy rate (as determined by whether people sign their marriage license or just X it) matches up with their childhood educational backrounds.

So.. uh.. lots of Excel database stuff, really. And entertaining facets of 19th century life.

I don't think "farmer's widowed pauper" or "spoon polisher" or "pearl button cutter" really flies on resumes anymore. Or "gentleman."

This one time I was reading the job description for this guy, who described himself as a 'inge filer.' I was really confused until I read the other records, in which his son described the filer as being a locksmith.

Apparently he's a hinge filer.

Fuckin' Cockney!
