Feelwell Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 How about some positivity? A bit of the bright side, or some silver linings? Post good things that happened today, or this week, or whenever! Something that made you happy, or comfortable, or brightened up a not-so-great day. Starting off, I think I actually look pretty alright today. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fossa Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Oh, wow! I found out I'm getting a staff recognition award for some work I did on a panel for helping users with disabilities (and the team I worked with), at the library...I'm a bit nervous! The President of the University will be there, as will the Dean of Libraries, and some other bigwigs. But it feels nice to be recognized, like this. At least we don't have to give speeches, or anything, just say a few words as we get the awards at this ceremony. And a check. Oh, and a free lunch, and also, to introduce a few helper and companion animals. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vallium Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 I spoke to my younger sister for the first time in awhile, today. She's 10, twelve years younger than I, and we never talk because Im always distant from her because of my devisiveness with my mother, and not wanting to start anything for me to get in trouble. It left this scar of me ignoring her for years, I often figured she disliked me because of it since she used to laugh and say mean things and 'I hate you' (At the time I rolled my eyes and didnt even care), but apparently in that way little kids do its always been the opposite. So she texted me, I was wary at first expecting a guilt trip from my mother. Although it turned out my sister was actually indeed not a baby and could use a phone at age 10 to say she actually missed me, then she called me on the schoolbus (an obnoxiously loud Elementary school bus), and we had a small chat about my pets before needing to hang up. I decided I'd text her why I was such a jerk and why I left our family, mainly one of the main issues it caused that might be confusing (I was always worried to speak to her directly because Im not sure what information or ideas they fed her to shoot down anything I had to say), but I tried to explain at a level she could understand, and asked her to delete those texts so mom wouldnt read, and she did. I apologized for being a jerk and she apologized for being annoying, so...

DrGravitas Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Another year with The Company, another 'B' ranking on my annual performance evaluation! As nice as it would be to get an 'A', I'm told it's simply not possible in my current position which leaves B as the best I can expect. This ranking means my annual compensation adjustment will be a few percentages better than most of the team, though the other senior resource typically receives a B as well. Mmm, can't wait to see how much my bonus will be this year! 8D 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alexxx-Returns Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 I have two. First, I've been uploading fan fiction again and it's got a small following already =O. I'm honestly surprised because it's basically 85% "saga of a self-insert OC that no one's gonna give a shit about", which is the gist of all the fan fiction I write. It's slow and I expected no one to read it, and I still expect its current following to lose interest before things get good but we'll have to see. Second is I ordered some super amazing shoes (actually I ordered 2 pairs of super amazing shoes, but 1 pair it turns out is made to order so I'll have to wait a long time for them) and they'll be with me tomorrow and I CAN'T WAIT 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mapa Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Just talked to someone I barely knew or had anything in common with for over an hour. An honest-to-god conversation, out of thin air. I don't even feel like I fucked it up or anything - in fact, I enjoyed it. Probably doesn't sound like much to the lot of you, but that's seriously a big achievement for me. What a great way to end a pretty terrible day. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's been a while since this post, but I remember you telling me about your family a bit before, and I'm glad that you're trying to reconcile with one of them.

Vallium Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Today started out really nicely. What a beautiful day. I have work this afternoon so I woke up and completed a few short, relaxing errands. During the drive, all the songs on the radio just sounded great. Interesting lyrics. Good vibe. All around nice. I stopped off at my old apartment to say hi and feed my cats. Stopped by the front office for free water, coffee, and m and m chocolate cookies. Went out to put up flyers at my local pet store. At one, there was a woman selling art prints, her mother painted them. Had a bit of a short conversation. So her mother spends months on a single painting, each are beautifully detailed environmental pieces, paintings of local community areas, landscapes, etc. The old woman was a teacher, helped special needs kids, and even painted a piece for the local equality center. The woman who was pretty bright and goofy ended up having a card reader so I nabbed a small print of a tree by the Arkansas river for $5. Went home again after I dropped the flyers off, since I had much more time before work to hang. Ended up cuddling the cats for about a good 30 minutes. Agave sitting on my chest and Aloe laying near my side. I feel like they totally understand in their own way that I've had to be gone a lot so it was nice taking that time to relax with them, playing a bit of music from my phone "Better days", "Yellow", "21 guns". Probably going to head to work now, really looking forward to a productive day, no complications, not too boring. Just good enough to make more money and go home.

Moogle Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Yesterday I got one of the nicest complements ever from another employee. He's been there for 14+ years and can be a particular "hardass". Even after having worked for close to a year now, there's been constant thoughts running through my head that I'm one of (if not THE) slowest person on our team. But after being pulled aside and told how much of a good worker I am from him, that little gesture totally set me over the moon! What a softy. 😊 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victor-933 Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 I saw a turtle trying to cross the road, so I turned around and went back to go help it (not only did I not want it to get run over -- but hitting a turtle has the potential to give you a flat tire, so...). As I was walking over to the turtle -- which had apparently frozen up and was just sitting on the double yellow with its head poking out -- another car pulled into the same parking lot, did a U-turn, and went back the way they came. I recognized it as a vehicle that had also passed the turtle a minute or so before, so I suspect they had the same idea as me... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Llamapotamus Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 I started working for my company on September 19th last year, and their policy says you aren't allowed paid vacation time until you've worked there at least a year. So, I'm taking my 2 weeks paid vacation in the first 2 weeks of October! Also, I still have a bunch of stuff in Texas and will be moving as much of it as I can fit into my new apartment on the 13th! Yes, Friday the 13th is my move-in date. I filled out the rental application last weekend and was approved Tuesday with the added bonus of the security deposit being waived because I have a 4-year degree and good credit! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
