I just got signed with a casting agency! After years of studying acting and performing on stage and working behind the camera, I'll finally get to start going on auditions for professional gigs. I thought I would never be able to get back into acting when I had some health issues arise, so when this came up you guys have no idea how great it made me feel!

Had a productive day at work with some great employees working under me, got plenty done.  I'm now wide awake and will not get to sleep for the next four hours, loving up my day off when I inevitably roll out of bed at 1pm as a result.

Crossposting from the uplifting thread.Alternative pants posted:My parents have an old black lab named Kammie. This summer she turned 14. She's arthritic, half deaf, going blind, and she's very nearly stopped eating. We know she's not got a lot of time left, so I've been going over to the house every few days just to see her and make sure someone is there while my folks are away and let her out to pee.

Went to Zappos.com to order some Onitsuka Tiger shoes, and I was still debating on getting just because I still have 3 pairs I can still wear. But then I got to the checkout screen and had totally forgotten that I had a $64 credit. The shoes cost $1 and I got free 1 day shipping!

I'll be honest, seeing you go from "I got a bagel, it made my day awesome" to "I got a date with a cool girl!" to "my girlfriend suprised me in my dorm for makeouts!" has been a very awesome thing to witness. On why today was awesome: ran another 5k up and down a bunch of hills in the rain, it made me feel ALIVE. Also finalized plans for a play party next saturday, I get to tie up an absolutely gorgeous redhead.

Oh, the whole bagel thing is Mondays. It's the only reason Mondays were good. As for why today is awesome, I got my latest math test back and found out I made a 91! That's 11 points higher than what I expected!

Cross post from the incremental success thread in W&W:SeaGoatSupreme posted:I'm now the waist size I was in 4th grade. I just bought the first pair of jeans that has fit me in both width and height since birth. They fit me like skinny jeans everywhere but the waist. Goddamn does it feel good to nearly bust out of jeans that should fit you properly because of all the loving muscle, and not fat like before.

SlaveToTheGrinds posted:My daughter has had a really rough two years, terrible grades, bullies calling her ugly at school and just horrid self esteem. Then this past few months she's slowly changing and coming out of her shell and realizing she's not ugly and she's awesome. I asked her what she wanted for dinner today and she tells me Famous Dave's would be the cherry on top of my day. I asked her what made her day so great, a boy called her beautiful out of the blue. She's 13 and not boy crazy but man watching her light up with that made my day I am so happy that she's coming around, it's been so hard on her for the last few years but she's just so awesome and I am glad that others are finally noticing that, most of all her. So yay that. Um, Famous Daves should make anyone's day better. I love that restaurant.

Got a promotion and a raise today at work. Moved to a new store cutting my commute time from 50 minutes to 2 minutes. Apparently the VP of the company is also a big fan of me now too, after doing some projects with him over the last two days. Today was a good day.

Two weeks ago I decided I was tired of being single and made a plan: if I saw a hot girl eating lunch alone I was just going to go sit down next to her, and once we'd talked a few times I was going to ask her on a date. Today one of them cut to the chase and asked me out. Half an hour at a play reading, three hours talking over coffee, and now I have a major confidence boost and a cell phone number.

Had one of my cats at the vet, after he'd been in a fight last Sunday. Obviously, he was bitten at the left side of his head, and had an abscess there which we discovered yesterday evening. He was put under and the abscess drained. Now he's at home with my wife, just chilling out and being a more happy cat than he was last week - no more pain for the wee fluffball. So, I'm quite happy about the fact that his pain is gone.

I found out that my weight bar weighs 45 pounds and not 20, so apparently I've been lifting way more than I thought. It's like the witch from the wizard of Oz just told me that I've been swole all along.

Technically yesterday, but I was offered a job doing administrative work at a place nearby home. It's great because I've been out of a job for three months. They invest a lot of money into their employees, which includes lots of bonus/performance incentives, full benefits and social activities. There are five forklifts for the five warehouse employees. Also, FREE ICE CREAM!!! I also told them about my plan to run a destination marathon in January. Most employers are sticklers about taking time off so soon into the job, but the office manager didn't care at all. I'm beyond excited to start working here.

I was interviewed for a job that I REALLY wanted at a friend's company a couple weeks ago. It was a brand new position, so they weren't sure how it was going to work exactly. They work on setting up and maintaining equipment on cell phone towers, and they needed a Project Coordinator to gather all the materials for the various jobs and get it to the team leads. In the past, the team leaders had to do all this themselves, which was time consuming, so they decided to make a position to handle it. Project Coordinators also handle communications between the tower owners and this company, which is something the bosses were doing before. So, it takes pieces from several different positions and mashes them all together. My buddy said of the 5 interviewed, there were only 2 real candidates- me and one other guy. Well, they gave the other guy the job, so I thought that ship had sailed. A week and a half passes, and out of loving NOWHERE, I got an email from their hiring manager with an offer of employment! They liked me so much that they reconsidered and decided to hire me too!!! This ends 5 months of unemployment, with working one temporary, minimum wage position and doing some merchandising gigs with my dad for cash on the side.
