You know what I freaking love??

So we have a gear grinding thread which gets some pretty healthy traffic on this forum, but I am making a concerted effort this year to be more positive about everything, especially in light of how much of a shit show 2016 was in general (ok, that's the last negative thing for this thread :thumbup: )

I'm starting a positive thread. You know what I freaking love? Having one of the busiest/best days at work ever, I see a local farm we love post up fresh bacon for sale on their Facebook page, I text my wife about it because it always sells out instantly, she walks in my office door less than 5 minutes later with a bag of it. She saw the pic before I did and ran over and snagged some along with some fresh eggs :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

And then I get a call from Gamestop that the PS4 Platinum headset I ordered just came in after I had called them earlier today and they said that they would be in later this week. AND THEN wifey brings home the mail and I have mail from my office and it's a $200 gift card they gave out to employees at the Christmas dinner we couldn't attend because it was across the country. WHA?! Pays for the headset and then some :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

I freaking love awesome days. And it's Friday :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

I got to work at 9 am, took the team to dim sum at 11, then left at 2 pm.

I freaking love dim sum.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth

For the first time I think ever at JMU, I have a real 4 day weekend because I have no Friday classes and haven't started at work yet this semester. I work Sunday, but that doesn't matter much to me. I have 4 days with no class and no obligations. I've been in bliss. No alarm clock this morning and nothing really to do so I played my xbox and watched netflix. Even went to the gym. I graduate in 4 months and while I don't have a job lined up, I'm not strapped for money right now so I don't foresee many 30+ hour weeks this semester.

The warm weather means I've been driving the Miata and it's been running well. We went on a cruise yesterday and it was a lot of fun! We found a guy that flipped his truck over the side of the mountain and I helped him out and he was not hurt. If I was there a few minutes earlier, he would have hit me head on, so I've been very grateful how my timing worked out. Things have been pretty good.

When your needy Customers say, I just finished shooting a message to your manager telling them how awesome you are.

Your wife sees Hardwoody Raspberry Stout at Trader Joe's and gets you a bottle, along with a gourmet cupcake from your favorite bakery next door to Trader Joe's.g

I think moving forward all replies should be in the tone of "It was a good day"

It was a good day. Found out I got a raise I wasn't expecting, left work at noon, went to the gym, then racked up at our local Sears which is getting ready to close. 30% off craftsman tools is something I freaking love.

Oh yeah. I need this. I'm one miserable fuck myself this is good practice.

Today was great, it wasn't too cold and I spent the entire day working on the car which felt great. I took my time and enjoyed the process to get everything and do it right and learn something new. Also soldered for the first time today. The new seats are amazing and my wiring job resulted in my heated still working!

Finally tracking down and reproducing a bug that has been plaguing our software for a year, and on top of it, should be an easy fix. Loving it Smile

When you get a super lowball offer from an "informed" buyer that states your high end suspension (motons) is worth "X" because he did some searching around on the forums.

Why was this good? Because I found this little nugget 5 minutes after receiving payment close to full asking price

Having your old boss try to recruit you for his new sales team and then him realizing there is a better roll with the company that isn't posted yet so he talks you up to his boss and gets you an interview.

Even better if they give you an offer and your company counters higher. Been there, loved every second.

Getting new feature work done in about half the time it should because you remove all distractions and go sit somewhere else besides your desk
