10,000 YEARS WASN'T ENOUGH LURKING
Post something positive or good that happened to you today ITT :buddy:

For example:

One of my clients worked hard, incorporated the things I taught him and leveraged that into a job paying $60k a year. He was in prison at this time last year.

I got selected for the hospitals neonatal resuscitation program and today was day 1 of advanced training with a bunch of neonatologists and NICU flight nurses.

Shits pretty tight and I got paid to do advanced medical stuff.

Part of the healthcare system is soul crushing in and of itself, but working with preemies and newborns that are sick at least allows them the opportunity to fight for a healthy life... Rather than being born and within the next few minutes/hours dead.

My first really sick baby happened last week Thursday, kid was near deaths door and I talked to the physician overseeing her care today. The prognosis is good, she should live a pretty normal and healthy life with how she's progressing :feelsgood:

The awful downpour that has been going on non-stop since Friday broke just long enough this afternoon that I could go play fetch with the dagge and get a bunch of firewood into the house without getting soaking wet. Thanks, weather.

I can get hector every now and then. He's tries to bite me every now and then, but he never actually puts pressure down. Like he's picked up mouthing bites from playing with the dogs. This could also be his tiny kitten mouth can't really do much more. He's so far never scratched me, but he also still has kitten claws.

For the most part he tolerates me handling him in pretty much any way I want. He also sleeps basically next to my face every night now. I routinely wake up with a cat and one or two dogs in my bed.

Just went and got him from outside. He's sitting in my lap right now. He also likes to chill on the top of the back of my chair and snuggle up on the back of my head.

Still working on getting him really excited about his cattower, though.

Last year, I was voluntold to be the VP for my squadron booster club. The whole officer's council was unwillingly appointed.

Today, after a full year of apathy and naked contempt for the booster club, I found out that I did such a bad job my commander will only take volunteers for the position.

It was a team effort, and I'm legit proud.

This is good socialization and a lot of cats are relatively trainable, so if you keep it up you can get him used to handling. One of my cats is basically a dog, plays with the dog, comes when called, etc. Other one doesn't give a gently caress though.

All of my cats will come when called by name, even when they are outside in the yard. Two of them are twin sisters and from a distance it's hard to tell them apart, and if you mix their names up they'll just sit there looking at you like you've got 3 heads until you get it right.

Only one of them will tolerate being held for more than a minute or two, but she'll snuggle in your arms for hours if you let her :3:

Life has generally sucked for me but I was browsing craigslist for a computer desk, some guy is selling a nice three piece Herman Miller desk. His original post said like $80 but the post got edited with no price, so I text him to ask the price and he says it's free and I should come get it. :feelsgood:

My week's been poo poo but my main bro just got a job offer working for a construction contractor in CO that will pay him double his current salary, and did it all from working odd jobs with the dude's son.


And my resolve to get a PhD has only been made stronger by all the poo poo going down against the scientific community right now, so at least I've got a fire under my rear end to get poo poo done right and be real loud about it.

That piece of poo poo four flat tire two year expired plates when it was dropped off abandoned car was finally towed from my curb. Thank goodness it finally got in the way of a county worker. Also, some of the gas lines in my neighborhood should be less likely to leak and blow up now.

He could totally break the skin with his teeth if he wanted to/didn't care. That's seriously cool he's learned not to.
