The What Made Your Day Thread

Hey that's great news!

As for me, I haven't yet come down off the high of being a dad. I wish I could relive that exact moment I first saw my daughter over and over. Mostly because I've never felt anything like that before in my life. I was so blinded by joy I think I would have given Donald Sterling a hug.

So Tuesday really bummed me out when I didn't get to see my dearest friend. That all changed the next day where we ended up spending practically the whole day with each other. It was the best!! I'm sort of sad because she is going to California for two weeks, but two weeks ain't forever so no big.

Yesterday and this morning sort of bummed me out again when I had to postpone plans to go see Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, but that changes now because me and a few friends and family are catching the 8:10p showing!! YEA!!!

The only gripe I have is that today was the Mayhem Festival and I'm missing out on it, but I couldn't really make any plans for it so once again, no big.

Got to visit the Royal Tyrrell Museum in Drumheller, Alberta yesterday. An awesome dinosaur museum with some really spectacular displays. Also got to see the world's largest dinosaur in the middle of town. It's one of those giant roadside attraction type statues. But it's an almost Godzilla sized T. Rex with an observation deck in its mouth!

Finally after months of speculation I got confirmation today on what's going on with my job. I'll be getting move to electronics which is a $0.20 increase and I'll be getting full time. Probably be getting the latter first because I can't move to electronics until I get replaced in my department so it may be a few months but hey at least I know for sure what's going on.

[jellydonut25]

full-time is good, too, I presume?

[Tom R VanSlambrouck]

Yes I'm guranteed at least 35 hours a week right now I can work any where from 0-34 hours a week thankfully I've been getting about 32 hours average. Plus I'll qualify for better benefits.

It's basically official that Terry Pegula, owner of the Buffalo Sabres, will be buying the Buffalo Bills and the future of the franchise in Western New York is secure. I'm SO happy, excited, relieved, and overjoyed by this news...I may have a rough time sleeping tonight.

I always do some Christmas charity buying for the holidays, and I pick a kid who requests "Ninja Turtles." Naturally, as a fellow TMNT fan I know this kid needs all four Turtles.

I go to WalMart - Wow! Not even Thanksgiving, but the TMNT section is already decimated! Still, I manage to find Leonardo, Raphael, and Donatello. No sign of Michelangelo. I then spend the next few hours going through town hitting every toy department along the way, only finding Mikey at the Target on the complete opposite side of town from where I started. I suppose he's the most popular Turtle amongst the kiddies!

... oh, and it goes without saying I got the cool Nickelodeon versions of the TMNT, not the butt-ugly TMNT of the new movie!

So last Thursday I took my final exam for my CPC exam prep course, for medical billing and coding. In the middle of the test the teach went around and showed the class, all four of us, how many points were needed to get on the test to pass the class. It said "Zero". So that means that even if I totally bomb the test, highly unlikely, I'll be getting an 80% in the class.

Now I just need to sign up for the certification exam, pass that, and then get a job as a coder.

Nice!

Today came with a bit of a surprise to me. I've been undergoing a change in style recently. Grooming myself more, changing my clothing preferences, etc. Today I was approached with a lady and given a phone number. Never has that happened to me before! So maybe I'm doing something right here.

Congrats

You know, the fetus has gill slits for a certain stage of early development.

One of those evolutionary leftovers.

My ebay dispute came down in my favor! Huzzah for not having to repay $120+shipping!

Over the last 24 hours not only did I, finally, mercilessly beat the Gore Magala in Monster Hunter 4 but I also passed my medical coding certification test!

Every time I refreshed the test results page over the last few days, my blood pressure probably spiked into dangerous territories. Went to bed with it saying "Grading" and woke up to the fire alarm going off (roommates' cooking) and it popped up passed.

Now to hunt for an entry level job that doesn't require 2-3 years experience.

We were all ready and hunkered down for a tropical storm...we had bought ice and knocked our A/C down pretty low figuring "if the power goes out, it'll take a little longer to get hot", and we bought water and we brought all our stuff from outside into the house or garage and we even spent a chunk of the day out and about (though nearby) under the assumption that the places we were going wouldn't lose power and we'd be comfy and in A/C...and it went fairly far west of us. We got some rain. Less rain than we had last month when my recycle bin floated down the street.
