What's making you happy today? - Page 493

Oh joyous day! My laptop has a new motherboard, courtesy of my Dell extended warranty. And this bitch is flying from task to task like it hasn't done in long time. (We're also getting a free wireless printer out of the deal, but that's because Mr. Clod is like Flint when it comes to demanding excellent customer service. He stonewalled that warranty rep like a right rat bastard.)

GCSE results for 16 year olds today.
Clever niece got all 12
A*
A x 8
B x 2
C x 1 (Drama, but she's not too worried as she honestly believed she'd failed)

DanaC · 08-25-2011, 06:03 AM

Eh, she's done alright there aint she?

I am happy because today is day 1 of my 5 day holiday! Yey.

I submitted my transfer docs yesterday (sample chapter of 10k words, plus a research report and thesis outline). I have no meetings until Tuesday. So absolutely nothing on for 5 days. Glorious.

Sundae · 08-25-2011, 06:12 AM

Well done, you deserve it.

Now make sure you don't waste your time on the internet.
Do some really healthy things like cleaning, planning your menu for next week and shopping for fruit and vegetables.

Snort.

DanaC · 08-25-2011, 06:14 AM

hahahahahahahah

Yeah.

Alternatively I could finish the giant spliff I rolled for breakfast, wash it down with this here latte and then watch some classic Doctor Who...

DanaC · 08-25-2011, 06:19 AM

The other thing that is making me happy, is that the stuff i handed in was good. I still have to go through the upgrade/transfer interview (bit like a mimi-viva), so hopefully the examiners will be happy with it, but so far i think it's really good.

Pain in the arse though it's been, trying to bring everything into some sort of shape so early in the project, it's also been incredibly helpful. I feel way more confident about the possibilities for this thesis now.

Happy Christmas Everybody!
Perhaps in an attempt to avoid the savagery of last year, we are eating out for Christmas dinner.

Menu (with my choices starred).
YUMYUMYUM!

Trilby · 08-25-2011, 07:01 AM

oh, sounds good sundae -- but where are the peas?!

We're going to avoid savagery at Thanksgiving and eat out then. We might still be awful heathens at Christmas, though, and continue to do the buffet.

One Christmas we did tacos and the boys nearly fainted. HA!

Sundae · 08-25-2011, 12:01 PM

Quite right - no peas!
I might have to have a word. Traditional Christmas Dinner with no peas? Steak (my choice as starred) with no peas?!

It's almost unthinkable.
I could take me own though.

monster · 08-25-2011, 12:05 PM

Maybe they're roasting the peas to death instead of boiling them to death.

My hub wears 32/36 jeans. We haunt Goodwill because this is an odd size. We frequently score brand new or almost new jeans. Anyway today I scored a designer handbag in mint condition , retail $499. [ who pays that for a purse?

] The grand total was $2.70.

monster · 08-25-2011, 10:01 PM

Awesome Nirvana! When my kids were younger Value World (Purple Heart) was the only place to shop because they were guaranteed to have pants to fit all three of them. Especially supe-skinny Hector. I just used to measure the length and waist with a pre-prepared piece of string and buy every pair that fit. and the handbag -cool find. I feel like that about hockey gear and figure skates.

monster · 08-25-2011, 10:04 PM

OK, I'm happy because Hebe's High School Swim team just won their first meet by two points, and Hebe placed and scored in one of her individuals, even though she's a freshman.

AND

I got word that our pool is fixed and may be open by tomorrow evening.

YAY!

and I have paid work.
