What's making you happy today? - Page 523

Making me happy is I finally forced myself to make time for a chiropractor appointment, and he fixed my neck and upper back right the hell up. Best damn chiropractor I've ever had.

Thanks all ... ... ...

This whole interview process is bizarre to me.
They made a BIG DEAL out of calling 5 mins in advance
and being well prepared with a list of items at the ready. OK
I was to call a number and enter a code.
Code only valid for this timeframe blah blah blah OK.
I do my part and call as directed with all the "items" on hand ....
I am put on hold while the interviewer is notified and takes the call. (sigh) OK

After 30 minutes on hold with only the most AWFUL elevator music to keep me
company, a computer generated voice comes on, says the interviewer is "unavailable"
and to try the call later. The call was then disconnected.
Lil pissed, I call back and the code is no longer valid. WTF?

classicman · 01-18-2012, 02:47 PM

On the positive side, I was offered a 2nd interview through another option.
We'll see.

I am happy, and as a result perplexed, that I found my bundle of sinew when I was cleaning up my desk. (yes)

Now I am wondering what the hell was in the bag that was dragged into the hole in the basement wall.

I collected Pilau's ashes today. I put if off for days since they phoned to say they were ready. Then suddenly I thought...what am i doing? I can't keep leaving him there day after day. He hated being at the vets...

Thought it would really upset me, but actually, I feel a bit like I have brought him home. It's a nice feeling.

When I collected them they were in this big, square white box. Not terrible, but a bit cold and clinical looking. And too big.

Got home and knew I had to open it up and look. Was expecting just to see the bag of ashes. Instead there was another, smaller box. Rectangular and completely covered with a forest scene print. Coincidentally it is all of Pilau's colours. From when he was a pup. Rich dark browns, light honey colours and so on. It's lovely.

I feel like I have him here with me. Like...he's physically here now. Tangible. It felt good to hold him. Only a small weight, but a weight nonetheles.

EZ PZ! Wtg on the new job! Do you get "gardening leave" now?

HungLikeJesus · 01-18-2012, 05:04 PM

New socks!

New socks always make me happy.

Dana - how nice that you feel good having Pilau's ashes home. I wonder a lot about the symbolism of ashes after a cremation. They are important (to me, at least).

classicman · 01-18-2012, 09:50 PM

Dana ... I still have the ashes of my high school dog at my parents. We were just talking about spreading them in the woods he loved to roam all the time.

I just got in the mail the letter my stepson sent me at his grandmother's house. the best and only chrismas card i ever got - "to daddy", signed "love from sloan" with a tiny drawing of us with a big heart in the middle.

making me cry, and i usually have a very hard time doing that...

BigV · 01-19-2012, 01:21 PM

awesome!

DanaC · 01-19-2012, 02:11 PM

Ahh Trace *hugs* that's one to treasure.

Big Sarge · 01-20-2012, 02:49 PM

Sundae sent me the cutest card! I've mentioned my eroding butt and this card is perfect. I think I am around a 9 on the scale. I'll try to post a NSFW pic this weekend & let you decide. LMAO

This has really made me laugh!!

plthijinx · 01-22-2012, 01:16 AM

oh lawd! love ya sarge but don't wanna see yer butt! (don't worry, i'll close my eyes and bypass those and let the ladies decide!)

now. today. i've got a project due tuesday p.m. when i'm at work i have a docking station for my laptop but when i'm home i only have the laptop, or so i played it. well i accidentally hit a command in autocad that made a pop up appear on the second screen.......houston we have a problem. no second screen is on the puter. no way to cancel said popup. i was shittin' (can i get a g monnie?) a brick but came upstairs and unplugged my pc monitor and hit it with my laptop and fixed things. was a relief. an hours worth of work saved. after i saved i went to office depot and finally bought a table/desk for my room. sorry long story but this is what i came out with:
