The Happiness Thread

Happy Birth day, just 365 days before you can drink legally!!!!

Don't forget the Ice Cream!!!!

 

Well, @Cave Troll 's the one with that kind of stuff. Maybe you should ask him?

 

The bitching and moaning just happened. He strolled into my office, trying to act casual, and asked me about my day yesterday. I knew exactly what he was talking about, so I danced around that topic and went over literally everything else that happened. He asked me if there was anything else, and I off-handedly mentioned the gentleman and what happened.

He was pissed!

He threatened to go to our supervisor about it if I didn't share the referral with him. I, of course, looped our supervisor in on the situation yesterday, so he already knew and was prepared. When he called our supervisor into his office, he did some more bitching, to which our supervisor replied, "Next time, do the full financial conversation with your customers and maybe you won't miss out."

My coworker is going to be pissed at me for the next few months, but it was definitely worth it to see him knocked down a peg. He's 20 or so years older than me and has been with the company for a long, long time, so he should know better.

 

While I'm not really in the mood I'm trying to get pumped about the concert tonight. Not my kind of music, but I promised my father to go with him a few months ago.

Wish I could take my metal-head with me instead, but he won't be here in at least a month.

 

Ah, good points.

As far as him giving the same advice, my supervisor took a look at a few of his most recent clients and, apparently, he isn't putting anything in the shared notes about his financial conversations with most of his clients, as we're supposed to so that the investment reps can get an idea of what they're getting into. The conversation takes quite a bit of time, limiting how many appointments we can see in a day, so it's possible that he's been skipping the conversation with some that he doesn't think will be "worth his time."

I'll talk to my supervisor and see what he thinks I should do. I make enough from my salary and other referrals to live comfortably, so this referral wouldn't be a deal breaker for me financially.

 

Hey! That was supposed to be mine!

 

Fine they can use this one to spank 'em.

 

Only if I get to use it back

 

Deal.

 

Finally figured out how to change my user-title!

Neato. Now I can write snarky comments there for people to see.

 

I think I've settled on "good boi."

All the other user titles I considered are dumb inside jokes.

It works on multiple levels. I like this.

 

They're all good bois, bront.

 

I've been going to the gym at work now for just over 2 weeks, and whilst I know I have a loooooong way to go, I am already noticing a difference, not only in how I look, but how i feel health-wise, and my mental state. I know they say healthy body healthy mind, and it is actually seeming to work. I haven't felt this good in a while!

 

I dropped off our first eBay sale to the drop off point. It is an old hifi system that we upgraded from that was under the bf's old desk. Payment was taken before shipping and the person has excellent feedback so we're pretty confident. But we did take photos of the packing process just to be safe.

 

Earlier tonight I showed my boyfriend a poem I wrote just before his birthday. It was written with him in mind but the subject matter was a bit heavy so I didn't give it to him then.

I was a nervous wreck since it was basically laying my mind and soul bare in a way I never really managed before. But he liked it, said it brought a tear to his eye. I'm glad.

 

1. i successfully captured and released a baby gecko that was stranded on the screened-in porch!

2. The flowers I transplanted two days ago are blooming and attracted their first butterfly.

ETA:

3. I lost 6 pounds.

 

Oddly and coincidentally I did too. But it was due to stress, which
may not be the best weight loss method. O_0

 

Clearly, we need a third Forum member who lost six pounds!

 

Carrying things like shopping bags filled with 2 liter soda bottles has become...easier. Its not something I noticed right away, but said bags that used to be heavy-ish to my skeleton jack physique have now become much lighter. Looks like all the working out is paying off. Just have to start sprinting.

 

1. Last Thursday I overcame a huge hurdle regarding anxiety and being social.

2. I helped a box tortoise across the road (he hissed at me).

3. My Sweet Talker (a chicken) was all sorts of snuggly with me today.

4. Tomorrow's Tuesday and I open so that means I get a little bit of a "weekend" since I have Wednesday off and I close Thursday.

5. I wrote a little bit today despite emotionally feeling like crap.

 

I just came up with a neat thing to do in my D&D campaign.

I know I keep talking about D&D, but.... it’s so great!



I’m practicing evil villain monologues in the shower.
