Re: What made you happy today?

Got the invitation to my buddy's wedding in June. Another excuse to go back to Nashville. Can't wait.

    Re: What made you happy today?

    really liking my new position at work. got to transfer to a new department, one that i've wanted to go to for over a year now. total opposite of my previous position. absolutely no stress, nobody hounding me to get back to work. i screw around for a solid 2 hours a day and still get more work done than whats expected of me. i work four 10s with wed, thurs, and sun off, so i have two thursdays and two fridays every week because my work days are split up, which is awesome. and while im at work, i put on the rockies broadcasts every day and listen to the game and listen to music when they're not playing. i decided to listen through RS's top 500 albums of all time list. i can typically get through about 5 albums a day, so i have material to listen to until september. and now its my big weekend.

    It was nice knowing once again I am lucky to have a good, honest mechanic to go to.

    That really is a good feeling. I've been taking my vehicles to the same shop for 20 years. The original owner died but his son runs it now. It was always them two.

    They've always been up front and cut me deals. Been honest if they broke something and replaced things for free. Good people are hard to find.

    One of my side gigs just locked in a pretty substantial client, and has the potential to turn it into full time in a couple years.

    Re: What made you happy today?

    Two things.

    Last night: As part of NC's statewide science festival, I helped out at a county park's 'Star Party.' My role was assisting in a Solar System Walk which was a scaled tour of the 8 planets and honorable mentioned Pluto. The goal is to give some perspective on how far the planets are really spread out, considering most people have just seen pictures like this in a text book https://www.scienceabc.com/wp-conten..._Monthly_M.jpg It was actually a pretty fucking cool thing. The Sun was a 14" ball, 1" on the ground represented 62,000 miles. Earth was 125ft away and Saturn was like 400 yards away. I'd walk groups to each planet and give facts and answer questions. I was impressed with some of the kids knowledge of the solar system and the adults were super interested which was also fun.

    Anyway, one of the little girls was like 6 or 7 years old and when we left Venus, she was like "I know the next one! Its Earth!" Yeah, cool. I went through the Earth facts and answered questions and then as we were about to leave to walk to Mars, this little girl said "I love Earth, it is my favorite planet! But we've only got one so we all need to recycle and protect it and love it too! Did you know that Earth Day is tomorrow?" Holy fuck. I'm so glad it was dark. Damn near choked up and my eyes got watery. This little girl gets it and is gonna be so awesome. Really impressed and I hope she spreads that environmental ethic with her school pals

    Today: Last fall I learned about a program that the county I live in does to help feed hungry children. The program is called "Backpack Buddies." Basically, on Fridays, teachers send food home with children that are food insecure and otherwise wouldn't have anything to eat. They pack their backpacks so that none of the other kids know who is getting food or whatever so there is no shame or embarrassment. I remember thinking it was a great idea but had forgotten about the program until I just went to the grocery store to buy a 12 pack Outside of the door was a teacher with a table asking for donations(cash or food) to the program. This was at a low tier grocery store right in the middle of college student apartments. Probably 90% of this Food Lion's customers are students. I could sense that she wasn't getting much action when she handed me a piece of paper with items that they would like. I walked in and store had made a section with all the items they were asking for and had put them on sale! Boom! I got my 12 pack, jalapeno poppers, and a bunch of shit from that list. I got them and when I gave the bag of stuff to the teacher her eyes lit up and she said "Dude, you're awesome!" and thanked me +1 to Backpack Buddies +1 to Food Lion for devoting staff to make that display and putting the items on sale +1 to that teacher for taking time out of her Saturday to help her students

    Arriving at the bus station at 10:27 and making the 10:30 bus, much better than waiting another 2 hours.

    And I know this shouldn't make me happy but it did...watching someone run towards the metro and the door closing right before they make it.

    And also watching children having temper tantrums.

    Don't know why but they make me laugh.

    its the fact of knowing it doesn't belong to you and you can just walk out of whatever store you're in and never have to deal with that kid again, unlike the parent who is trapped dealing with that on a daily basis.

    Got a random girl friend request me on FB while I'm at work. Says she's from Austin. Her engrish not so good.

    Long story short she says she's. Asked in bed and asks to video chat. She's not lying. The whole crew at work has been having fun with this. We covered the camera so she can't see us and she's melting over it. I'm well aware of the scam she's trying to pull.

    It's like the 2017 version of playing with a telemarketer.

    Sounds pretty sweet man. The shittiest thing about growing up is watching your parents get old. Just spent a week with my folks and their health is getting worse everytime I see them, which is only once or twice a year. Makes every visit feel more important. I'm sure your dad enjoyed it.

    I'm happy because I didn't have to wake up early and it was raining all morning. Warm in bed while its raining and no plans. Still raining and about to open a bottle of wine.

    That's the main reason I'm here this weekend, his health isn't great and trying to get as much time in as possible. Bringing my wife and kids up to OK in a month for another visit. You're right about it sucking watching your parents get older, and like you, I don't get to see them as often anymore.

    Very nice, man. Getting old sucks, but nice to be able to enjoy spending time together and nice your dad has gotten to know your wife and daughter. I still think my parents would like to see me get married and have kids, but at least my brother covered me in those areas.

    I'm happy because this just sparked a few messages between me and my parents and we're gonna skype later.

    On a lighter note, I'm happy to have a 3 day weekend.

    Honestly, I found my mom dead earlier this month. Nothing has been happy for me lately.

    My boyfriend and I took our dog swimming for the first time ever. She seemed to like it and I'm excited to take her more often. My bf waded out to his knees with her but she was shy to go above her chest. It was fun.
