Reverse first-world problems: What *good* thing happened to you today?

[snoopy7548]

I seem to have stopped biting the inside of my lower lip.

My suggestion worked, didn't it?

Discovered a really nice business today. Glad I went there.

Problem: Possibility I may be moving soon. So I wont get to enjoy it much.

I ditched the alcoholic at work today, and got home a couple hours early. I'm getting *really* tired of him, and wasting my life taking care of him. I'm starting a new campaign of being a passive/aggressive bitch, and being an unreliable source of transportation. I should just come out and say I'm not driving him anymore, but that's a hard line, and could end up fucking the boss, which is my only reason for driving him in the first place. The hope is he'll figure out driving him around *isn't* an enjoyable pastime, and he'll arrange something else, but it's only hope. He'll be dead before he gets a clue.

Anyway, I got home early!

Yeah but now I can't eat anything and water just dribbles out of my mouth whenever I try to drink it.

Uh, did I mention that I did NOT stay at the Holiday Inn last night?

Gorilla tape, imo. What do you think?

Got my 50# box of climbing rope ends today, and it looks like I got some long pieces. It's getting ready to storm, so I can't measure them, but they look good coiled. Paid $75, and the estimated value is $700 :^)

Due to some confusion, people i know bought 4 cargo shorts for me on the market while i initially only asked for 2. I am happy i have 4 now. Now i have enough shorts to wear to get through the hot days.
Cargo shorts are also a lot cheaper on the market.

Cat is out of heat and I didn't have to bring my work laptop home.

My new campaign of being unreliable is starting to pay off. Twice this week he texted and said he didn't need a ride home. It's like a fucking vacation. Didn't take him to work this morning either cause there was a road closure, and only pita ways around it. He's figured out if I go to a certain client, I'll probably be texting him and saying I'm not coming back to the office. I usually text him early, but I'm gonna start bumping that up to 3pm. Found out he's leaving the office early, but he still bills to 3:30. Fucker. I'll make sure he's there til 3:30 or later :^D

Might have paid off better than I thought. Boss called me tonight, and said the draftsman has a permanent new ride. I didn't hear that from the draftsman, so I'll believe it when I see it, but life's looking up \o/

I'm free! It's not my job to transport the draftsman anymore. His girlfriend brings him in in the morning, and he gets an uber home. Today, I left at 2pm, got home, mowed the yard, fired up the chainsaw and cut some low limbs on the tree I'm gonna climb when it's cool, installed a vent on my gas can, and I was done .5hr before I'd be getting home after transporting the draftsman. It's like a fucking vacation every day! Oh, and I get to stop at the deli, have a leisurely breakfast, and get to the office 20 minutes sooner than usual, and that's after leaving 10 minutes later than usual. Who knew life could be so good?!

I ordered a taxi and it was only 5 mins late.Wtf is the world coming to.

 

[snoopy7548]

Got let out of work at noon today!

 

[Red Squirrel]

Actually got something done today. Days off tend to go too fast and I lose track of the days before I can get anything done. Got my hedges all trimmed. Getting rid of all the branches is another story, no idea what I'm going to do with all that. Our dump charges now, and it's going to take a LOT of truck loads.

Can you burn them or is that illegal where you live?

 

[Red Squirrel]

Can you burn them or is that illegal where you live?

Would be illegal. If I had a fire pit and fire permit I technically could, but my yard is too small so I would not want to burn stuff like that anyway as it would be kind of risky. I eventually want to get a bigger property in an unorganized township so I can have more room and more freedom though.

I went to the grocery store earlier today. They had some fresh baked apple pies sitting out, and I was immediately drawn to them for some reason. It's as if a hidden force gently took me by the hand and guided me to the pie stand. I knew I was meant to take a pie.

Then, a bit later in my quest, I was walking by the ice cream section and suddenly the vision made sense: My future was somehow intertwined with apple pie a la mode. I was relieved that it was a force for good, not for evil. I bought the most expensive vanilla ice cream I could find.

I just warmed up a piece of apple pie and scooped some vanilla ice cream next to it on a plate. It's heaven. When I die I must go to a place where apple pie a la mode is being served.

There is truly nothing greater in this world that a warm slice of apple pie served with a scoop of delicious vanilla ice cream. Some things may be as great, but nothing is greater.

Try making your own apple pie! It'll be at least 10x better!

Finally got around to doing dump runs to get rid of all my tree branches. My yard does not look like a hurricane went through a forest anymore!

We ran out of time before the dump closed but the stuff that's left is small enough, I'll put it in regular trash a little bit at a time throughout winter.

The mistress remembered lube this time.

It's been a good day. I took off work cause of rain, and it's been cloudy/rainy all day. Went out and got some elastic to make leg straps for my hand saw, and made a saw lanyard out of paracord for my poulan. That's gonna be my tree saw this fall assuming I'm comfortable enough in spurs to use a power saw in-tree. Air smells good, and it's not fucking hot. Listening to new age and drinking whiskey. Every day should be like this.

 

[dasherHampton]

I still have half of that pie left.

So it's either:

1) as good of a day as yesterday since equal amounts of pie a la mode will be consumed on each day

or

2) 50% as good of a day, since there is no more pie to look forward to once the remaining pie is gone

Either way, it still qualifies as a good day.

Appraisal on the townhouse came in at $99K, paying $98.5K

Had a customer that was due for 3/2018, $900 balance. Went to her Dad's house. He brought me a payoff check.

Another idiot due for April...equifax gave me his new address for a whole .25 cents. I went and throat punched him.

All in all, a good day so far.
