What brief glimpses of happiness did you have today?

[Al Tha Funkee Homosapien]

Made a Lemon Polenta cake but then realised I'd used pre-cooked instant polenta and the texture was all wrong.

Then I fed it to a dog and then threw him down the stairs.

That helped.

None whatsoever.

For Today

None.

they've locked the AC control panel on 24

That's far too hot and probably against some regulations or something.  Have you thought about moaning to the receptionist who has nothing to do with facilities management?

A lot of offices with modern HVAC systems have placebo thermostats anyway so I wouldn't worry about it.

Had a driving lesson and yknow, was pretty good! Picked up after a long gap (dole and then new job will do that to you) but I made few mistakes. He says I'm more confident now.

So I practiced emergency stops. I'm cool about it. I don't make the mistake of looking at the dude who is shouting "Stop".

Also the often underestimated pleasure of de-glitching a thread.  Nice.

[The Boston Crab]

Worked from 3am to 9:50pm.

Listening to the new AnCo tour bootleg on headphones in the dark. Start tomorrow at 6am so got a good seven hours kip ahead of me.

Sent my mate on the dole a bit of dollar

Which made me happy!

Told him to spend it wisely but.

K Cider, breakfast of champions. Gets your day off to a start, technically. No two ways about it

[imitationleather]

K Cider: For those occasions when you need to get your weekly recommended alcohol intake in you right now.

29-17, there's lovely (yesterday really but still worth a mention).

[PlanktonSideburns]

Love this thread, makes me feel good, so there's a bit of a feedback loop there.

Why can't we ever just have something nice?

Came third in the Safety Day quiz at Big Oil

(it's happy because the winners got Big Oil T-shirts.)

[Sebastian Cobb]

Accidentally turned my alarm off and went back to sleep so no time for breakfast, but someone bought pastries in so I got a pain au chocolat.

I think I know where you work! Must be interesting.

[Cuellar]

Watching this couple of work experience lads in the office. Thursday afternoon now and they genuinely look like they're about to cry they're so bored. Bored to fucking tears.

Want to go up to them and go 'haha! Cheer up, once you're done with school and uni THIS IS IT FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE MATES. YOU'LL NEVER KNOW BOREDOM LIKE IT, hahahahaha'

Makes me smile anyway.

[Small Man Big Horse]

I taught a lesson today where the kids didn't want me to go at the end of it and begged me to stay. It's the first time it's happened (normally they fuck off the moment I say goodbye) and so it was all rather sweet of them.

[Lisa Jesusandmarychain]

A few today!

One, it is FRIDAY. I started the day by stroking the kitten I posted in the CATS thread.

Big Oil went my way too, got a cunt manager who hands me back corrections despite the fact I'm not even fully trained with shite like "do better". He picked up three days of work today and I passed him in the corridor and said No corrections then?... He sheepishly admitted I'm getting good

Also. Waiting for bus home from Big Oil, yesterday, this middle aged couple came up to me at the stop. Genially asked me if I knew that comedian - on loads of panel shows, yknow? Scottish? They seemed a bit soft but I'm stupid so don't know any Scottish ones but the Big Yin. My best mate later suggested it was Kev Bridges. They went on to flag a cyclist down and ask him..

Today, was waiting again, and they see me, wave, and come over. The fella said they're really happy to see me again! If they're soft they're lovely about it. And it WAS Kev Bridges!! The smiles on their faces.

Finally.

Been living a deso existence without a local chippy. Only one nearby been shut a month, an old jakey sitting on an upturned bucket outside told me the other day the owner had a stroke. Nice Chinese family, used em years, I go in pissed and chatty and I go in sober and chatty so it felt sad indeed.

Well it reopened the day, I am in it RIGHT THE NOW waiting on a chicken curry. Its RAMMED. The dad is out and recovering at home and will be back. The local community have left loads of cards for him.

Proper heartwarming day, feels like I'm in an actual society, knowing local folk, and being, whatever I am, at least approachable and nice. :)
