A few days after this new chief chewed me out, he couldn't resist, and called me into his office to talk about FFXIV. Heavensward was brand new at the time, and we jabber jawed about The Vault. Apparently he had trouble healing it! I couldn't believe it.
This actually reminds me of another story...

I had a guy in my unit who for about 2 years tried to get me to be his partner in 2v2 arena in WoW when he found out I mained as a healer and also loved PvP. So one Memorial Day 4 day weekend he convinced me to get back into the game. The day before I bought the game and I think an auto level 90 or 80... ( Chains of Pandera or whatever it was called was the latest expansion ) so after final formation we could just get right into it. We stop by the Shoppete or however it was spelled and pick up the 10 pack of Monster Energy. We get into 2v2s and once I found my flow again we got pretty heavy into the Arena fights. We finish our 10 pack by day 2 and we get another 10 pack ( BTW we EACH have a 10 pack...we aren't sharing this ) and continue with Arena fights.

Well 4 days later we are at first formation and we aren't looking too good...but hey why not add in a random drug screening. Guess who got picked? Yeah so I'm doing the test and my urine is like...green. "Renalt WTH is this? What is it? What did you do? Do I need to worry about this?" and I tell him I just had waaay too much Monster. He tells me after First Formation I could dip out and rest up and he will handle questions if anyone asks about me.

So...after that ordeal I decided that MAYBE I shouldn't have Monster anymore. Well I forgot that one of my other Sgts would take a can from my fridge as a bribe to just in/out on any room inspections. Now this guy was hard to pin down cause you could never tell if he was serious or not. Well room inspection day is up and he comes into my room and goes straight to the fridge, looks in, shuts the door, and is in my face. "Where's my Monster Renalt? Now I gotta do my job! Get down Renalt!" So I get in front lean and rest and he takes like 3 steps in the room, walks back to me, and tell me to recover. "Room looks great Renalt. I want my Monster. Nah I'm just kidding with ya Renalt...but no seriously I want a Monster. See ya at the Motor Pool."

I could never peg that guy.
