GW2 and our jobs...

Unlike many others types of jobs that are 9 to 5 ish, (In-game names: Siafu Antsy and Dorylus Insecta)....me and Posidius are live-onsite apartment managers and currently maintain/manage 54 units. We work were we live and at any given moment ( 24 / 7 ) we or either of us may get a phone call and have to leave vent, guild chat, party chat, forums or anything else at a moments notice to take care of an emergency or other.

In the past, our real-life professions have sometimes played out badly when we have to drop and run with no notification, leaving some people to assume ass-hat rudeness or we needed you or we were talking to you and you just up and left (for an undetermined amount of time.) Our job is what it is and it demands what it does...our apologies now...if that happens at anytime in the future.

Your understanding and patience is of course voluntary...but greatly appreciated.

Can't wait to chat / hookup in-game with any of you as long as you understand...our work situation.

Have a wonderful day. :)

I agree with this, seeing as I too have a RL job that doesn't allow me to have a lot of time to play during the daylight hours.

Seeing as I go to work at 3:30 PM and I don't get home till some time around 11 PM, maybe even later than that if I have to work late. I may even have to work weekends some times. For example, I'm going to have to work the 15th this month(a Saturday) because we will be striping and waxing a large area of floor in a Mentally Challenged Workshop, a place where Mentally Challenged people go to, to learn how to work in a day to day 9-3 job.

So, yosh, I agree, RL jobs comes first before gaming.

Set reasonable expectations and no one will ever get upset afterward. Kudos for being up front!

Just want to echo what has already been said..

Real life ALWAYS comes first and that's why I think it's important we class ourselves as a "casual", "friendly" guild that will understand if something pops up and we have to step away. Nobody is going to leave just to be annoying they do it because they have to and, even if you're on the last boss of a dungeon, we should be adults and understand that these things happen.
