Title: Today is a good day!
Post by: stpitner on January 09, 2008, 12:05:59 PM
So I'm in just a bit of a good mood today.  Many of you know that my disc golf stuff is just a side business - I do software testing professionally, and well, today at my job I received an unexpected promotion!  I've been hoping for this promotion for a while, but today of all days was not when I expected it!

Along with the promotion comes a nice little increase to the paycheck, and I also still get another increase coming along with the end of year review & increase.  So today has been a pretty good day!

If you have a good day, feel free to share what happened!

Sweet news Scott!

Today I ejaculated before my morning shower and made it to work almost in time!  So far its been a good day! 

Then I hit some dude riding his bike on the side of the road, but nobody saw and I drove away!  Anybody else having a good day?

I feel like crap.  I have an awful cold, my throat is sore from coughing, I can't attend the ice bowl,  my vendor screwed up and I won't get the parts on time... I could go on.

But congratulations, Scott.  That's the only good news I've heard today.

Congrats Scott!

Dan, don't you  :jerk: at work? Why do it before if you could get paid while doing it?

Kurt, hope you feel better.

Today'll become a good day once I leave work

Today is a crappy day. I was riding my bike on the side of the road when this guy in a Camry hits me!  I got up and tried to look at him but he was busy wiping his hands on his coat.  He didn't bat an eye and then drove away.   >:(

Seriously, the coffee was hot, the train was on time, my socks matched and  I had lunch with my daughter.  Its been a good day.  But you Mr. Pitner, have had a great one.  Enjoy.  Its also nice to know that you are an honest guy.  Some guys get a promotion and never tell the spouse.  You have posted on a public forum and are hiding nothing.  When you get home the baby will be asleep, she will have cooked dinner and will be wearing a new outfit. She will have a nice smile (perhaps as wicked a smile as the guy who hit me this morning) and will then tell you what you are doing with your new found fortune.  ;D  Something tells me it aint gonna be baseball cards. Congrats!

I could probably get you some numbers for a good anti-septic place if you need a cheaper price for that stool... 866-SUX-GAME comes to mind. ;)

Congrats on helping out Mr. Visa.  I definitely know how that feels!

Good for you, Scott. Don't forget how the universe works (what goes around...), keep that outflow of goodness going.

I also test software professionally, for Harris broadcast video editing systems. What're you kicking bits on?

CRM (Contact Relationship Management) software for law firms and other businesses like those in financial services, professional markets, management consulting.  It's a highly customizable product, so there's always plenty to test :)
