Stayin alive

So, I'm still here, I promise.

It's been a fairly crazy month or so, and as such, apologies for my extended absense.

Remember almost a month ago when I said I had some crazy stuff to tell you guys? Well, I can't remember what it was, because I became consumed with getting my account back to normal after I got hacked.

My account was hacked on 30 June, probably at approximately 0400-0430 hrs.
Kelektra was stripped of everything that was sellable (including a full 28slot enchanting bag full of materials), all her gold, gear, badges, even her hearthstone and mounts were destroyed.
Hyria and Kaeras were stripped of any pve gear, all their gold, and badges, and anything sellable (for Kaeras this was 2 Herb bags worth of herbs and a LW bag full of skinning supplies, for Hyria it was an entire engineering bag full of goods and a mining bag full of goods). Then Hyria and Kaeras were transferred off server, to two different servers. Kaeras was also unlucky enough to have her skinning unlearned, poor girl.
My bankers, oh my poor bankers... The only thing that got left on them were items like snowballs and small eggs (yes, I was saving for Christmas, okay? :P)
My paladin Kaeci and my Twink Tschida were both also stripped of everything sellable and all their gold.

A big thank you goes out to Alpacaa (yes, that Alpacaa) for noticing odd happenings with my toons and getting in contact with a GM right away. I can't imagine how much worse it could have been if it had continued to go on.

They were able to start preliminary restorations next day, Kelektra got her PVP gear back, and some random items from her bank, The bankers got a lot of the items they were holding back, and Kaeci and Tschida were pretty much fully restored. My case was forwarded to a specialist, and I heard nothing for close to a week, when all of a sudden on that Saturday the rest of Kelektra's gear and items returned (except her badges and mounts, boo!), and the bankers/my lowbies were fully restored. I was told they were still working on restoring Hyria and Kaeras to this server, and as such I continued to wait (not so) patiently. The Saturday following, Kaeras and Hyria were restored to Drenden with all of their gear/items/badges/gold intact/professions.

Everything is back to normal-ish now, I had a friend send me and Hubby authenticators (since we cannot buy them in Canada) and I attached mine to my account immediately. (Even tho, as has been reported/incident happened in my own guild, you can apparently still be hacked with an authenticator, I still feel a lot safer).

What else has been keeping me crazy busy? Well, the staff at my store usually numbers anywhere from 10-12 people. In the last two weeks, we've had 4 people quit/resign off of our 10 man staff, which means, of course, there are 6 of us left. Six people to run a store that's open from 1000-2300 weekdays and 1000-2400 weekends. Last week alone I worked 42.5 hrs, and I'm an hourly employee. This is a huuuge jump from my normal work schedule of about 29 hrs per week. So I've been getting home, exhausted, logging in to WOW to check my mail, and falling into bed.

Lastly, I've finally updated my AC's Progression list, a HUGE congratulations to AC for downing Azgalor in MH and Na'Jentus in Black Temple, ON TO SUPREMUS AND ARCHIMONDE!!!

I'll be leaving on holidays for 10 days starting Aug 2, so I'll be back with another update after that, I've got too much to do between now and then to even think about spending more time than necessary on this silly computer.
