"work" effort. Because, even if you "skipped" your
"normal job", you'd still be putting in a lot of "work effort"
in grinding out a lot of discounts. If it were me, I would
go to work, earn my $$$, come home, play some leisurely games, earn
some discounts, then consider buying the tank. Look at it a
different way. If you stayed home to grind out discounts on the
tank, you may make it to, rough estimate, at most 50% in a single
day. But, you'll STILL be paying probably around $35USD (price for
the tank hasn't been released as of this post, so going with the
typical @ $75USD for "marathon" tanks). If you went to
your "normal job", if you make at least $12USD per hour, you should
be able to clear fully purchasing the tank when you got home. But,
if you add in any discounts you could earn once you're home (which
could easily be 20% discount in your time-frame), you will
technically be coming out ahead. Plus, you save yourself some of
the frustration that you may encounter playing the game.
"Marathons" tend to bring out the same type of players that you get
on "x5" weekends. DeviouslyCursed: Well, actually.... The company I work at has a habit of
under-hiring for all the departments. Right now we all have to work
OT each week to keep up. I work 1-2 hours, some work 5-10. Each
week. Because of that, the department has been in a "unlimited OT"
status for the last 4 months, and will likely stay that way at
least through the end of the year. The job I do, the work
keeps coming in whether you are there or not. Because everyone
can't even get their own work done in a day, they can't get yours
done while you are gone either. That means you have to make it up.
Anytime you take PTO, whether planned or unplanned, you get behind.
That means you work extra. Common sense says you work the makeup
time the next week, where you are already getting 40 hours and
everything extra is OT (1.5 times). (You don't want to work extra
the week you took a day off because you didn't actually work 40
hours, and therefore it's not OT, just regular pay) What does
all that mean? Basically, I don't work Friday, and use PTO to
still get paid. Then I work Sunday to get all that work done, and
since that is on the next week where I will also work M-F 40 hrs, I
get paid 1.5 for the work on Sunday. For that 8 hours of work
I actually get paid 2.5 times for it (1.0 for PTO hours + 1.5 OT
hours). I actually make more money by calling off and playing
tanks. Hey, I'm not the Einstein in upper management that
likes to under hire and makes this all possible. I just make it
work for me
