Not bored, exhausted by choice.

Not much done here, so much choice, no time, so no choice really - do 
what is simple and interruptible.
Make sure all have the same size bags because the offsets annoy me.
Kit out the Forlorn Hope a bit better, grind frogs a bit for full 
upgrades on the 553, add a few crafted gear.

Spend a lot buying any mat sold at or near vendor price.
  Consequently a brief excursion into cut gems, and ran away screaming.
  Vermilion onyx, promoted from tiger opal with a lotus, fine, simple, I 
do that in batches to fill supply. Orange gems for pvp seem to be in demand.
    onyx has 22 cuts, multiplied by every gem type...just not worth the 
effort.
Seriously, people sell 50 stacks near or -below- vendor 4g, there is no 
risk here.

Same thing for other mats all the way down, vendor price at 6pm, 4x 
vendor at 7pm, buy/sell churn.

Get an Edward the Odd drop, vendor it accidentally, must have gone along 
with all the timeless junk vendors because I can't find it.

Plan for Invasion of Draenor :
Send in the warlock alchemist herb first, half 553.
Once scouted and secured a base of operations
   send is dk miner blacksmith some 553.
Grind grind grind, turn a lot of mobs into lootable.
   Find out about garrison.
   Make mistakes about garrisons.
   Spend a lot on garrison.
Send greens back to my more rubbish alts, all timeless but not upgraded 
beyond a smattering of 553.
Grind grind grind, turn a lot of mobs into lootable.

Get lost in choice, have a lot of DOH! moments
retreat to nice quiet ah.

Since the promoted 90 has a 383 2h equivalent to a 20k timeless 2h ,
I am hoping the initial 500-ish green will fill in gaps fairly quickly.
When it says go and nuke mobs for 10 bits of fluff, nuke 20 ,
assuming the mobs survive a tiny bit longer than a gulp frog.
   Maybe just take the week off and let things settle down.
If it takes a little bit longer, a bit more grinding, a few thousand 
more clicks this is no real problem.
  People are running around maximising their gear so they can level 
faster. Why in such a hurry to get the xpac content over and done with 
asap? If it was chocolate people are planning to down 6 family size 
blocks in a week :-)
