    I recently came to realisation that I like my job (and I am pretty good at it).

    I've not had this level of job satisfaction in a while. It feels odd.

    This weekend, I got to have dinner with an old friend from high school that I've not seen in about 40 years. She hadn't been where she could make any of the reunions that I attended, and her family had died or left the area, so she wasn't around to be seen. She and her husband are moving to a town a bit north of me, but it was convenient to get together. It was good fun.

    I'm having the same feeling this week. Making some really big accomplishments that would have never happened in my previous position.

    There were 20 in my graduating class--I can still name them if anyone wants to hear them (no one ever does).

    A family that had children scattered from 1970 to '79 decided a few years ago to have a 10 class reunion, as each class was around our size. It has become a bi-annual event now. We used it as our 40 year reunion and about half the class showed up.

    My home town has an All Class Reunion on the weekend around Independence Day every year, with a few special years for given classes. This year is 50th for 1968, 40th for 1978, 25 year for 1993.
    It's gotten to be a bigger deal than Homecoming Football game in the fall.
    My class ('94) had 65 members and I knew nearly everyone two or three classes ahead or behind mine.

    I partied with Dave Chappelle and some friends in a barn early into the AM. It was a great time. The music was totally random, from Notorious BIG to Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit to gospel and blues.

    Wow 65, we had 400, and that was in 1953....one of whom was Alan Konigsberg....otherwise known as Woody Allen
    I don't think he was very popular, I don't remember him.....( that's not saying much)

    My boss called me up to make sure I was alright, from the floods in Maryland (I live 5 minutes away from them)

    Nice to have one who cares. :cool: (finally after so many over the years)

    I don't take it for granted, I appreciate the difference in quality and concern.

    The mother of a dear friend has lung cancer, but after surgery this week, the doctor thinks they got it all and she will be fine. Great news compared to what it could have been--I guess "good news" is sometime relative.

    I know that ride brother - it's one of the main reasons I haven't been around here in....years? and then years before that? lord. Congrats on the 9 months. That's a big deal.

    In other news, does anyone still do birthday threads, or am I just showing my rust? I saw charlaton had one, and I thought back to the birthday threads. It made me nostalgic for the tfp. Then I saw healer posted recently after a hiatus.

    So this post is my good thing for the day. I mean, some other good things happened, but this place is special and I'm glad to see it's still up and running.
