Look at the bright side, WoW saves me a lot of money that I would have spent on other PC games. I suspect quite a few others who are into WoW are like me too.

Interesting features are: Online racing Full weather effects An "arcade" and "sim" version Track surface model that will simulate rubber build up, marbles, stones, water etc Running off the drying line in the wet will give you less grip and cool your tyres Wind and sand effects It will be possible to spray champagne after a race victory You have to wait for F1 2010, which will be on PC platform… Interesting features are:

Or maybe a decade later, after a few job switches, you and I will look back to today and think that what we have now is more useful than what we will have. Hehehe. Man, I want F1 on PC! I think it is coming soon. Is it because you are pressing the KERS button in the wrong place?! Ha ha ha. Oh, we have to review the recording again and see how F1 drivers do it with brake and throttle and gear shift! I reckon if we learn that we shall be able play the game well ... all 60 laps with no crush! AY – Talking about “de-skilled”, that is definitely my case too.

But yet some of us pour in more hours for no tangible outcome. - agree more than 100% >> Most of us are convinced that we build useful skills as our career progresses. But how useful are these skills as time goes by? - I was being "de-skilled" as time goes by. Interesting though my skills acquired 2 jobs earlier from the current one were the most useful >> Most of us have our eyes on promotion, having a new title. But what does the title really mean outside your office? - It does not really matter >> Some of us claim that never mind the long hours because we have fun at work. How much of those juicy war stories really mean anything to someone who is not of your work domain? - You need to get your hand on F1 2009. My friend, F1 is difficult... even to keep the car on racing line My thoughts on the 4 bullet points
