Thanks. Young messy hooligans more like it :prude:. Don't think the landlord cares all that much about who goes in there.

  One of my neighbors slammed the back door, thus waking me in a timely fashion
   from a deep sleep filled with elaborate dreams.  Now I'm ready to face the day!  :viking:

I managed to remove a trash bag and several smaller bags/items from the house.   :thumbup:

Got a compliment on the presentation I did from a guy at work who's really talented and skilled.

When I stopped by the grocery for light bulbs and cheese, I bought 6 boxes of bent and groceries @ $4 per box.  The bad something is that PA doesn't know we've added about 120 cans to the food stockpile.

I was able to troubleshoot and fix the problem with my furnace. It was just some bearings that needed oil.

Got a compliment on the presentation I did from a guy at work who's really talented and skilled.

I like it when someone who knows what he is talking about does that. It's the only time such things will sometimes matter to me.

Happened to me in Montréal in August. After my presentation, I got an email saying well done from a colleague in the field who is about as respected within my field as is possible. He was in the audience and he had chaired the spec I based my work on.

My problem is that I never know what to do with such a compliment. I wrote a thank you but managed to include something about "I hope I didn't butcher the spec" and afterwards that came off as cheesy and moronic, somehow.

Picked up a check and was told they did not want the extra foam left over from the job so I have about $200 worth to use on my house

The local Christmas parade includes cheerleaders from the various playgrounds.  One playground had a girl about 6 or so marching.  What made it so wonderful is the girl is blind (uses a disability cane) and she was marching with her Mom.

Nice.

This guy stopped by my desk and asked me about the projects I had done illustration for. The sad thing is none of the recent ones are published, it's just for friends and my own work. It was kind of a letdown, I want to be able to say "Yes, and if you want to know the story behind it, here's where you can get it."

Out of context, that phrase doesn't sound cheesy and moronic.
