Post something good that happened today, Parts Two

['andersom']

Youngest is doing great. Got a long way to go, but that is OK. She surprised me every day last week, in a good way.

Oldest is turning 17 today. In one hour and 15 minutes she will be 17 exactly.

She's as cute as she was back then. But added some mischief and fun to her persona. She also grew a bit bigger.

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!

Yes, congratulations. Here we all are, celebrating:

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.

Nice!

Want to tell more?

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.

Headhunters who give tests?

Does this mean you're moving to America? 

With fries.

Having a birthday so close to Sinterklaasavond must be rough.

I'm slowly getting used to it. Often I proposed to the girls to let Sinterklaas visit us in summer. But they never wanted that.

I was happy she was not born on Sinterklaas or Christmas. That would have been tougher.

Sinterklaas visits Australia during the summer.

Being born on Christmas could be fun, especially if you don't give gifts that day. I've read of articles and books that will tell you which famous people share your birthday. Being born on Christmas would be a trump card.

Wikipedia has lists like that.

Some famous murders on the BD of my daughter (already knew that). And I just could not resist telling her she had to share this BD with Nicki Minaj.

She was not pleased. 

There are some good names on the list too though.

Congratulations.

Did he come as a BD present for your mother?

Is he as cute as my daughter is?

How many brothers do you have?

I did not fall asleep at work this morning and actually got something done, despite having been up till stupid o'clock last night.

[sg1008]

I had one of those weird dreams at work, where I was dreaming, and then I "woke up", and everything was exactly the same as real life except I noticed the time was 7:30pm and I was freaking out that I had slept that long, and then I actually woke up and the time was still early. And then it happened again.

It was weird...waking up twice.

I've never dreamed about waking up and still be dreaming. I thought that only happened in the movies.

Me too. But now...since it happened twice I know it's possible. Crazy eh?

Headhunters who give tests?

I'm going to talk to them in about 45 minutes.
