About an hour ago, I added a check to [exex. Looking at the balance after I had put said gold check into an exex drop box, I was confused: it did not seem to go up. So, having never done that before, I PM'ed a couple of people to make sure my knowledge on the subject was correct. They seemed to have the same notions I did, so I began to get worried. Now, the amount of the check was 530k (Nelapsi just fell out of a chair laughing): while that may not seem like much to some, it was alot to me: especially considering it was gold that was not really mine. I was being paid for a service and I like to keep all the gold seperate so I can be as honest as possible.
I ended up sending a Help request. +C showed up and told me what I already knew: the balance as it was. He said a few other things, nothing rude, just information. He went on to say that it would take him about 1-2 hours to figure out what happened when he was already sure of what did: that I was simply wrong. Well, that puts me in defensive mode, right? Yes...right, yet wrong. I was not rude, neither was +C...but when you feel your integrity is in question, well.....it can be easy to get a bit snippy. I said one rude thing (imo) at the end of our conversation and this is what I got in return: a PM from +C explaing a bit further what he had already said and apologizing to ME if he seemed a bit short/snippy.
So, I went and really thought about it all, looked at the numbers...and guess what? Yup - I WAS WRONG. I tried to PM +C to apologize, let him know (I did reply to his PM and was not rude: it's his world!) that I figured out what I had done, but I was not able.
I WAS WRONG. +C, I am sorry I was snippy there at the end of our conversation. I feel like a big, rotten tomato for not taking more time to investigate myself and getting defensive so quickly.
Thanks to all you Staffers for all you do and all you put up with!
