"It was crazy. I came in on the morning of the 17th and had about 25 voice mails, all from the IT staff, calling in sick. Now, it is the 18th and those same people called in sick again. That is more than 80% of our IT staff. We had the desktop guy trying to do server maintenance and debug the exchange server. People were getting really upset and there was nothing we could really do," Spencer said.
I have ToV pay out on me about that one. The funny thing was that that I desided to end my holidays a day early that day because there was a lot of work on at the time. A lunch time, I just simply walked down to the JB HiFi where they were selling it $20 cheaper than every one else.

And then about 2 months later.... I quit playing the game. Mind you, I did have my sister's BF take the next few days off work because of WoW. And there was another freind of mine that spend an entire holiday just playing WoW.
