This is a cheering thread! Yaaaaaaay!!! →[More:]

it's Friday, yaaaaaaay!!!!

I have a big ole bowl of my roommate's scrumpdillyomunchable spaghetti-and-italian-meatballs for lunch, yaaaaaaaaay!

my office supplies came with a free bag of Jelly Bellys, yaaaaay!!

and there wasn't one single black jellybean in the whole bag but there were many tutti fruitti ones, yaaaaaaaaay!!!!

it is looking more and more certain that we're going to move very shortly from this disgusting ghetto falling-down, ant-infested office building into a posh and swanky, brand-spanky-new site that is (ZOMG!!) right across the street from the local brewpub! YAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYY!!!!

so, whatcha got to cheer about?

Mrs. tr33 comes home in just a few hours!!!! Yay!!! I need her; falling asleep on the couch with a full bottle of beer in my hand (at first, later all over me and the couch) is NOT a way to spend a work night . . .

I was working at home today and so didn't have to talk to the Complainant from Hell!

Yaaaay!!!

And I just had lemon pepper turkey with mushrooms and coriander, with grilled peppers and courgettes, and I have got strawberries and Greek yoghurt for dessert.

Moving on Monday! Last weekend in this noisy awful apartment! Soon to move in with sweetie! Yay!

Turned in a bunch of work this week that I was cringing about, because I thought it was a bit late, but they seemed to love it! Woo!

Also, really good class session last night, in which I actually felt like a real live therapist! Wooyay!

More cheering:

I finally found a doctor that will remove my ovarian cyst! Yay! The saga of me finding a doctor has gone on for months (big part was my phone phobia) but today, after getting through one shitty receptionist (who made me cry, literally sob, with frustration) and another answering service for a dr. that was already gone for the weekend at 2.30 (fucking MDs!) I found one! Yay!

And that gave me the confidence to make another phone call that I'd been putting off, for a work-related thing.

I'm dizzy with adrenaline!!! Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!

Yay, gaspode! I feel some sort of vicarious victory, given my own phone phobia!

I am providing initapplette with radio choonz and it seems to be going down well. Phew and yay! Pay day is next week and I should be getting a back-dated pay rise in it! The company I work for has had a *very* good year and next month is bonus month! I'm being "harmonised" soon and should be getting another pay increase! I'm going out for a birthday meal with some of my family tomorrow night! I have an open bottle of red! My job is really, really good at the moment!

After months of slowly degrading service, Comcast apparently made some network changes recently. Now, my primary DNS server is only 13 hops away, in a city 328 miles away as the crow flies (it was 34 hops in a city 664 miles away, last Monday). So call this a "Bronx cheer" for Comcast High Speed Internet service.

Seriously, WTF, Comcast? You have more than 100,000 subscribers in the city where I live and can't be arsed to put a couple of $300 Pentiums running BIND in a colo closet here?
