Tuesday morning = downtime

I love to read the general forums on Tuesday morning -- no matter how big the message is on the WoW startup screen, or how long it's up there, there's always someone who posts on the general forum wanting to know why they can't get into WoW. Seeing these weekly messages reassures me that the human race has not progressed...we still spend 99.9% of our time wandering around with giant blinkers on and end up shocked (shocked I tell you!) when normal and ordinary things happen.

It's just too bad that more of life doesn't have a regularly scheduled Maintenance Event. I'd love to have a morning of downtime from being responsible, for example. Or an afternoon of downtime from working on my relationships. And an entire day of extended maintenance on my laundry and housecleaning would really be nice. Of course, being human, I'd have to post a WTF message somewhere complaining about the downtime instead of just enjoying the momentary break.
