How do you cope with FFXI maintenance?, The coping thread. Options

[Kari]

So I wake up this morning expecting to be able to get on FFXI, and lo and behold, there's server maintenance.

The facts are, as soon as it's done, I have to download some stinkin' two hour patch, and then my siblings get home and I find myself suddenly lacking in FFXI-addiction-ebbing substance.

So how do YOU cope with server maintainence? Whether it's going on a mad rampage through your neighborhood, carrying around foam weapons, chasing small children ("Hey! I provoked you, get back here!!), or sitting down for a nice cup of coffee and laughing at my misfortune, we all have our 'coping strategies'.

This just happens to be mine:
