There are *some* upsides to working other than the money. Firstly, EVERYONE remembers your birthday. And anyone who doesn't remember, has a nice email sitting in their inbox from the admin team to remind them (very awkward if the admin team forgot you, tho...) complete with e-card. So yeah, everyone. Probably more "happy birthdays" received today than any two previous years combined - and it's not actually my birthday until tomorrow! (Saturday, so totally legit)
Secondly: CHOCOLATE. Not only do I get the obligatory block of chocolate of random denomination from "the bank" - i.e. handed over by management - I also seemed to get given a lot of other chocolate by people today. So that was awesome. ^_^

Yay working! XD

Got the job! Training starts monday. Not the perfect gig, not even by a long shot, but it sure as hell beats being unemployed and broke.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

After a month I finally got the damn Internet again. And me and the ole lady moved into our house and it's in full reno mode, tore out 3 walls last week. Plus, found out were having a girl. Gretchen will be here in July. Lastly, my latest house flip sold in 4 days. Money, money, money, money..........MONEEEEY.

I've always been crazy but its kept me from going insane.

Not only did I get this sent to me by my best friend, no, she did so because she first fell in love with the music and THEN realised it's malazan themed, but she's never read any of the novels and only knows of the series because I'm such a fangirl. But the best part was her comment, which was along the lines of 'Say, is it possible that this favourite author of yours managed to write a story that's all about carnage and bloodshed and epic wars but infused with a spark of hope throughout?'

So, making me happy are both the good music and having a best friend that's so smart and generally great.

Went to the Ren Faire, had loads of fun. Went with my brother and nephew (those are two different people, for you Southerners and Aussies) and we watched a bunch of the comedy and music acts. Circa Paleo were particularly good, and their violinist is a babe. Old perv style nerds kept going up front to snap photos of her, but she seemed used to that kind of thing. Also we got lost in a maze for like 20 minutes.

They came with white hands and left with red hands.

Things worked out between me and Mr Awesome! Turns out he was tired and frustrated, and just really wished I would be happy for him, which I was and wasn't at the same time. He regretted saying it the moment he said it, and has been thinking about it the entire trip. As soon as he came home we had The Talk. He cried (!) because he was terrified he'd ruined everything with that stupid comment, then we talked it all through. And it was good!

Now, I think we're better off than before. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger and so on and so forth

This makes me happy ^_^

And also all the awesome gifts I got ...

Things and stuffs...and other important objects.

Was one of those gifts a cheque for his 1/2 of the rent?

I WANT A YARD SO I CAN HAVE WEEDS SO I CAN USE A FLAMETHROWER!!!

Then again, I did suggest lighting people on fire a few days ago, so I suppose I don't need a yard with weeds to have a reasons for a flamethrower. ^_^

As for what's making me happy - this showing up on my tumblr dash again:

I may, or may not have been made a Super Mod a little bit ago

I am quite pleased to have been asked to be one

And now I can see and do all sorts of stuff! I totally wanted to go round clicking on all the new buttons and shit, but I managed to restrain myself on account of not knowing what half of it does and not wanting to accidentally click the forum destruct button

So, hi, I am your new SuperMod

I heard some of this a while ago, and it annoys me. It annoys me because I really like the music, but they really, really need a different vocalist. I like some metal, but I am not generally a fan of most of the "voices" their singers put on, and this type is one of my least liked. On top of not liking that voice in general, I just feel it does not at all fit the music, or the topic. The music and topics are all epic and grand. The voice sounds like Grima Wormtongue or Bidithal attempting to be hardcore. Not big or loud, but quiet, sleezy and doing a bad job of being grand.
I guess I want a good cover of it
