After reading the counter thread about terrible things happening to decent people and subsequently ruining their day, a "pick me up" is in order. So, why was your day awesome today? What realization, news, or experience made today stand out above the average. Today I learned I shattered the curve on my midterm and got a free lunch, and my Wednesday class was canceled so I can drive home for thanksgiving tonight and avoid the traffic tomorrow.

Today I got to decide between two pretty stellar offers from companies I interviewed with over the past few weeks; soon I'll have a much better job!

I'm a teacher, and today was a snow day. It doesn't get much better than that.

Today 2 vinyls arrived - Minus The Bear's Planet of Ice and Dear And The Headlights' Small Steps, Heavy Hooves. Also had no work to do, so I chatted with my boss about strippers for an hour.

Today was awesome because my dad surprised me with tickets to the basketball game tomorrow for my birthday

I was forced to move offices at work. I thought it was a bad thing until I was lead to a bigger office with Oak furniture instead of Ikea wood. It also has a whole wall of windows not just one window!

I got invited to do a few minutes at my first real comedy show. People will be paying for tickets but I don't think anyone but the host gets paid because it's a little shoestring theater but this is a big step up for me after doing a few months of open mics. Preparing and looking forward to it!

Over the last 3 weeks I've been working with our network guys to implement a new firewall system, and each time it's caused issues that they hadn't been able to fix (nor find the cause of). Finally, after weeks of troubleshooting, and speaking with the vendor, they got a fix...and surprisingly, it WORKED! So officially, my last late night at work helping them get things implemented and tested was last night, and so far both buildings on our campus are working great.  On top of that I got my new machine upgraded with Windows 7 Enterprise (been using 7 Pro at home and LOVE it) and so far it's been working fantastic. Everything is so much smoother than it was on XP so now I can actually get poo poo done without the lag my old PC had.

Alone in my office at work (usually have a partner who is quite distracting but she is on vacation). Taking on her share of work also means there is plenty to keep me occupied, so the day is going by pretty quickly.

My day has been awesome and ruined at the same time. It is ruined because I have been sick all week and I went in to work but was too sick to stay and taking the bus home in the middle of the day takes forever. It is awesome because now I am at home cozy and warm in my pajamas eating chicken noodle soup while it is cold and snowing outside.

Word spread around work today that after the first of the year our schedules should be changing from 4 days of 10 hour shifts to 6 days of 10 hour shifts. Most people I work with are not excited about this, but I'm stoked about it. And as a bonus I found out that the 6th day will be double time.

Started soaking dried fruits in cinnamon-infused brandy a few days ago with only a vague goal of "vegetarian mincemeat thing that gets you drunk and takes care of your monthly fiber needs." Today I figured out what I'm doing with it: Upside-down mincemeat spice cake! Thanksgiving Friday is gonna be awesome.

I hung out a work aquaintance's place for the first time. He lives with his father, who was there with some friends who are all life-long musicians and play in a popular house band here in Tampa. I jammed with them for a few hours and they were genuinely impressed, which felt awesome, and now they want me to join their group, which kicks even more rear end. I've been looking to play some music down here, and now I've stumbled upon a solid group with a steady gig schedule. gently caress  yeah
