Got into a top grad program in a field that I'm actually excited to work in (even after doing tons of research on it!) since I'll finally be able to put my undergrad education to good use in a more professional setting. Best of all is that I got a big stack of financial reward money from the school, so I don't have to look at other programs with fewer internship opportunities.

My boss wants to give me a bonus. He wants to buy winter tires for me since my job involves a lot of travel. I've only had this job for just under 3 months and it's the toughest job I've ever had, but I must be doing something right.

I have the best boss ever. I work in a warehouse and have to bring things down from the store that theyve sold off the floor so we can deliver it to the customers house; (names changed) I do my shop run on wednesday and bring down goods for customer Smith and put them in the rack. Jessica from the store rings down to the warehouse after I'm done and tells my boss I hosed up and I left Smiths goods at the store. My boss comes lumbering out of the office, yelling at me that I've forgot stuff. I try to explain that I didn't forget anything and he just says ok and walks away.. Thursday comes and the same thing happens, I don't forget anything but Jessica calls down and tells the boss I forgot stuff. He comes out and tells me and I show him the stuff and he walks away, but this time I follow him and tell him I need him to know that I didn't gently caress up (I have a thing for people accusing me of things I didn't do). He just sort of mumbles and walks off and I'm angry bout the whole thing because my name is sullied and I feel like maybe the boss isn't angry about it like I am. Jessica calls up Friday for something and the clerk yells out from the office Clerk: 'BOSS THERES A PH CALL FOR YOU' Boss: 'Who is it?' Clerk: 'Jessica, from the store' Boss: 'Tell her to gently caress off, she keeps saying Nierbo is forgetting stuff but he isn't so she can get hosed' Made me feel really good that he was actually paying attention.

Well that's... good. I got to spend an hour of work today in the car. I listened to music, smoked, and got paid for it instead of sitting at my desk bored. It's the small things.

Won 18 booster packs at a free Magic tourney today, one of which had a $20 card I was trying to find. Also (yesterday), I won a $50 Target gift card from a cooking competition at work. And tonight, my fiance wants to help me drink all the leftover alcohol in our fridge

I learned that at my work dinner event thing I'll be seated next to one of the guests of honor: a shuttle pilot and commander  Also, I dunno if I posted this because I was so goddamned busy, but last week I flew a B-17 Flying Fortress. That's the only multi-engined time I'll ever log

Driving home from shopping, I saw a double rainbow; I've only ever seen one or two of those before, but the primary was also a supernumary rainbow as well which I've never seen until today. It was extremely vibrant and beautiful.

Yesterday evening, but still.. I'm the only guy in my Pilates class. People seem to think it's weird for a man to do Pilates but I don't care and it's awesome for my sore back and shoulders. Apparently someone just had to be the ice-breaker, the girls in the class have been talking about it at home and now more guys are signing up. Come on, lads. Strengthen your core. It's great!

I just found out I got accepted to the college I applied to with the intention of doing their physical therapy assistant program. I couldn't be more excited.

I was sick today but went into work, took the reins of my new job for the first time, and didn't totally suck at it! My trainer says I'm actually faster than typical. Then my wife brought me soup, snacks, and vitamins and left me on the couch in front of a Simpsons marathon.

I managed to run for the first time since hurting my knee a few weeks ago. Still clearly not 100%, but I was worried that the joint was gonna explode or something. That didn't happen, and that's cool!

I did a Magic draft at my town's new card shop tonight and the guy's payment processor went down right before I paid so he agreed to let me pay after. I drafted a Windswept Heath, and paid for the draft with it when we were done. So I basically got a new deck for free.

Class reunion yesterday evening, first time in several years I'd seen most of my schoolmates. We're all out of college and most of us have a job, but besides that nothing at all has changed. It was a blast seeing all of them.

Yesterday I collected about $225 in raffle prizes for a fundraiser I'm running on Sunday, and today the professor in charge of the club I'm fundraising for was SUPER impressed that I put the whole thing together.

I picked a thing up and put it down with authority and control. 220 lbs is more than I've successfully deadlifted in over a month. Beat personal bests on the other lifts I did today, too.

My wife was at Goodwill buying clothes for a Halloween costume and she came home excited because she found a women's Burberry trench-coat. Apparently they cost like 1500 dollars and she got it for twelve so thats pretty cool!

On Wednesday I did a one-rep max deadlift of 255, then yesterday did 5 reps of 225. Getting back up to my old five-rep max work weight of 230. And today is my birthday and I'm going out for Indian food.

I was able to get my fascist boss to let me stay home tonight even though I called out 1 1/2 hours before I was supposed to go on. WHOOP. Now I can stay at home and be miserable with my sick self, gently caress yes.
