Thought I'd start this for fun... mostly because I've played pretty much every class in EQ2.So far this is my fave class, but guess what: I'm a manager in a chaotic environment in RL!  Coincidence?  Not sure <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

I did early warning command and control/maintainter for Patriot Missly Battery. Then resumed my work with the Union Pacific. If they had only allowed me more than 5 years before cutting off my job protection at UP I'd be doing military retirement shortly... oh and I'd prob be in El Paso or the Sands of New Mexico at this moment rather than on the little-house-on-the-prairie side of Wyoming(too close to Cornhuskers ick!). I'd sooner live anywhere other than where I grew up(So. Calif) so it aint too bad I suppose.</p>
