How SoR invades RL

I'm playing SoR since last September, and I noticed an increasing blur between RL and game world.

Examples:
- reviewed a document which mentioned the statistical method of 'Pearson-Clopper' and my brain immediately went: 'whoa, dangerous, aggro!'
- found (by pure chance) a bar called 'Rhizome'. It's nice, has cheap beer and good music :p , but I caught myself thinking: 'pitty they don't provide stabling facilities for Mektoubs...'. It goes without saying that I keep dragging my mates to this bar over and over again...
- read an article in the newspaper which used the word 'forage'. Made me sad immediately, 'cause I realized I was on the way TO work, where I have NO chance to log on and give that newly trained tracking stanza a try...seemed forever before I could dash back home that day...

Not to mention the feeling of disappointment when I finish a task at work and I don't get any XP :(

Looks like a serious form of 'SoR hookedness' here...

Guess many of you have similar experiences?

My biggest problem is getting out of the house and to work, since I know Dazman is patiently waiting in Min-Cho for some action... RL is utterly rubbish!

*wibble*

I keep having the feeling that my bankaccount being low can be solved by putting on my blue dress and a pick and head for the countryside. Wait, it doesnt work that way, I have to actually sit and look at a screen.

I had my brain flashing of the impuls to push 3 (careplan), when I saw a cup of coffee being tipped over by a collegue. Instant stress reaction for me: careplan!

I think it will wear off sooner or later and I can pick up my life outside Ryzom again ;-)

Luckily, since I'm at uni, I can just pop back to my room in the lunch break (its less than 5mins from the lecture rooms :p ) and get my Ryzom fix if it gets real bad ;)

How you ever manage to get back to the lectures once you started??

I actually considered if being a harvester (i.e. a lumber jack or a farmer) is getting me a better income then my current job. Luckily I decided against it.

I always want to tell my clients that I don't have the resources for their current order and they have to wait some more time. But people in RL are even more impatient then in game.

I freeze when I go outside in light armor (shorts and t-shirt)

Probably one that lots of people have experienced, I often hit enter before I start typing whenever using MSN messenger, hehe.

I often try to cast madness at my co-workers hoping they will start
to attack themselfs and eventually vanish (they can not spawn !!) :D

But much like in game they will probably never hit !! Or the effect is so lame they won't even notice !
