Post something good that happened today, Parts Two

A Happy customer recommended me to multiple people

Today was all-around awesome. Had a full day training session at work on a subject that I'm really interested in, and got to mess around with some ideas for new projects. Afterwards, a certain phone call went really well and it gives me hope for the future.

Received an award at work today.

What was the award for?

What was the award for?

Being accepting to forward momentum and change, I guess. End of the year recognition awards, two of my team members and I received awards. We have a new software application used corporate wide, a new master data source, which our department has been willing to take on responsibilities of other departments who were combative to the new system and it's processes. Of course, we were individually praised for other accomplishments within the department, but I think our acceptance for change was the big ticket; we're making it happen and without complaining. I personally was praised for developing new auditing tools and processes for our department which align with the new application, saves time, promotes efficiency and better data integrity. It was stated my personal level of accuracy is 'unparalleled'. Pats on the back are nice, but this was my favorite type of recognition, cash.

Ohh, does this mean you'll buy us all a round of drinks?? 

Congrats Jack, sounds like it was a nice, perk-filled day!

I went to the first time to Hobby Lobby and found so many things I have been looking for at other hobby and art stores without success.

Technically this happened the day before yesterday, but I forgot to post about it: I was contacted by a recruiter about a job that seems to be a good match for me.

Does this mean you're moving to America?

Well, the first thing that happened when I said yes to the recruiter was that I got an aptitude and skills test that I spent yesterday doing. We'll see. I don't want to jinx it.

Confronted someone in a very polite manner. Basically strongly reminded them of something they said they'd do long ago, and made suggestions every time they evaded making plans to do it....I finally figured out the issue. And now I have a solution.

I don't get people who are so proud. We were prepared to deal with the issue happily, but she insisted she could take care of it- I mean, she didn't have to insist, it was going to be taken care of. But her insistence stopped us. Months later it is not done and she is too proud to admit she cannot take care of it....and I wonder if she ever had the intention of doing so in the first place. wtf!!!!

But I am glad I got it out of her. So now I will take care of it while she is not around so she needn't object.
