Best Day in a While...
« on: January 10, 2011, 07:19:14 PM »
Got to work safely and had a quiet day in the office.

Arrived home to correspondence confirming that I passed the CRA exam, a professional certification for scientific research administrators.

Then, about 20 minutes ago, UPS knocks unexpectedly to deliver a long, plain white box, containing one of these: http://www.albion-swords.com/swords/albion/nextgen/sword-medieval-crecy-xvi.htm. My early birthday present to myself.

My 2011 may just turn out better than my 2010.

Thanks for reading.

Next time you look in a mirror, smile.   =)   Good days can be unfortunately rare for some.  I'm glad you had one.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

Good for you.  Those villages aren't going to pillage themselves, you know.

Confirms my theory that no bad deed goes unrewarded.

Is that CRA thingie something you can frame?

Can you go around knighting people now?

Come to think of it, though, most of us folks here on APS are benighted anyhow.  Me included.

That made me laugh, outloud.  I rarely do that while reading APS.  =D

It reminds me of a moral patch I won from http://jerkingthetrigger.com/blog/  He gave away several "I Kick Hippies" patches recently and I was lucky enough to win one.  Looky here: http://jerkingthetrigger.com/blog/2010/12/04/giveaway-ikh-slap-patch/

Both of those remind me of San Diego.  I went to eat at a burger joint there called The Corner.  One of the cooks was wearing a bright red t-shirt.  On the back, it said "F*** You Hippie!"

Fly320s: I laughed as well.

41magsnub, I'll find someone with a camera and get it done. If the image doesn't frighten you, you're beyond fear.

After the divorce/depression and a couple of projects that damn near wiped me out, I'm feeling a little wind in the sails. Still not easy going, but the light at the end of the tunnel might not be a train. Thanks for all the thoughts.

Now I just have to avoid self-decapitation/disembowelment.

If you manage to self-decapitate, well...pics or it didn't happen.  =D

I'll leave instructions for the clean-up crew. ;)

Btw, Terry, I'm grateful nightly for this den of benighted souls, where I feel right at home. It's like a Knights Inn for freaks and reprobates. (I'll get a certificate in the mail. Biggest short-term benefit is tacking some alphabet soup on my e-mail sig at work.)
