Noticing a trend of somewhat sucktastic days this week among the TFP faithful, and to counterbalance the TFP Pity Party going on in the next room, here's a chance to pat yourselves on the back.

What's making you feel good today?

I made a flyer for an event that I'm attempting to organize involving my employer and my favorite local advocacy organization. The organizing process has been frustrating—especially since this is the first time I've ever tried to do anything like this—but I'm totally psyched about how the flyer turned out. I'll open it up and gaze at it adoringly every time I need something to keep me going for another few hours.

You're good enough, you're smart enough, and doggone it we like you. So have at it.

 

I put the toilet set up, then down this morning. Yay, me.

 

I made two minor jokes at work today and people actually chuckled.

That almost never happens. I am the funniest man in the world!

*flexes*

 

I found a hidden chicken in my freezer that I forgot about.
It's not a $20 bill found in my jacket pocket, but it felt good. Yay?

Edit: I guess I didn't really do anything, there. ^^

Ahh, I did spend the day with my nephew playing video games.
I don't like hanging out with him, but I don't like to hurt his feelings.

 

1: I visited my mother - we had dinner and a nice evening.

2: She told a joke ... first one in years which made sense:
Man had a pet parrot ... and a more obscene potty-mouth animal never walked the earth ... Yo! Biatch ... Polly wanna 'king Cracker! etc, etc
Man had enough of that, and put the parrot in the fridge to 'cool off'.
Man came back 1/2 hour later, and parrot came out - shaking, trembling with emotion - a changed bird "Good afternoon master, I have had time to review my transgressions and and will henceforth work off my shame with a lifetime of good behaviour"
Man was amazed, and pleased.
Parrot: Er .. a question, good Sir .. May I ask a question ...
Man: Sure
Parrot (points to a rock-solid frozen chicken and asks, tremblingly and querulously): What crime did she commit?

 

My shoulders are sore.....makes me happy because I know its from fighting with the wind yesterday n I won the tug of war!!!! Yea!

 

Funny you're mentioning this joke... I heard it told for the first time in church last Sunday.

(Yeah, I go to one of those churches.)

A baby jumping spider hitched a ride back to the office with me, so I went downstairs and put him outside. Hoping he does alright in his new digs.

 

Hi DamnitAll

My mother goes to a Roman Catholic church.
I sing in an Anglican choir, where, I suppose the jokes are less about sin, guilt and punishment.
Joke which gets told at my church twice a year: Two cows in a field. One goes 'Mooooo', the other goes, 'Well bugger me my goodness, THAT's just what I was going to say!'

But enough of that ...

It's celebration time, cos there's a baby spider saying to his new mates, "Miles and miles and miles and miles .... then this weird place - thought I was gonna die ... but ... carefully picked me up and brought me out here ... yeah, yeah, I know they might have just four limbs and can only walk on two, but they get a gold star in My book ... whatever a book is. And I can now live a life."

It's a good day

 

I was so productive today—and this week, for that matter—that I left work a whopping thirty minutes early this afternoon.

Woo!

 

The day turned out to be nice after all i mowed the lawn, washed the car and took the boys to lunch. Pretty productive day indeed

 

My pigs stayed where they belong for an entire week.
No chases around the property after getting home from work.

 

More old thread resurrection.

I'm tickled to say that my favorite local bike shop has recruited me, unsolicited, to work part time for them this summer.

And I quote, "I think your enthusiasm, local riding knowledge, general weirdness, would all be a good fit." If that isn't a compliment, I don't know what is.

Bonus: if I hang around long enough, they can cut me a sweet deal on my next bike. Sold.

 

Signed up for Warrior dash and made up a training schedule. Mother texted me and asked if I wanted pizza for dinner. I said no thanks (the joys of living at home post graduation).

Feeling good about myself for the first time in awhile.

It's the little things, kids.

 

I got a pat on my back for some marketing plans I put in place. Not by the douchebag interim dean...but still. It's nice to be appreciated.

 

Played golf yesterday, in less than great conditions. Played 2 shots better than my handicap and won my grade

My handicap is now 1 shot smaller

 

I work hard at my morning job. I got a pay raise from my morning job. I think. It's not a typo, I hope. And it was a dollar increase, not a 15 or 25 cent increase.

 

I never thought a mint.com account would be useful until I opened one. And now I am so impressed! Everyone should get one!

Also, an ex from a while back called me and revealed that she is doing the worse for wear without me and the best thing I can think of right now is "WOOOOOHOOOOO!" Hell? me? Worth it!

 

I heard about mint.com the other day.

I walked 2 miles after work and then went grocery shopping for healthy things like vegetables. Now I have to figure out what to do with a spaghetti squash.

 

One of the few squashes that actually cooks best in the microwave... you picked an easy one
