Started a new job.
A little boy walked into my toy shop this morning, saw a Fast and the Furious car (1/64 scale) and told me "that is a beautiful car, I love the Fast and the Furious! Did you know there's going to be a 10? I can't wait to see it!" So I handed him the car and said it was his.
He replied, "really?! For me?" and I said "yes, sir, for you," and he patted me on the arm, smiled and said "you're a nice person."
Nothing feels better than a little kid telling you you're a nice person.
Started a new job.
Aw, that is sweet! (yeah, I teared up at the end)Such a kind gesture that will have made his day. Reading that reminded of this advert that was on a few years ago:
See, that is the best part of being uncle or an aunt. You can load them up on candy, let them have fun, and then hand them over to their mom and dad and laugh an evil laugh as they're leaving because you know exactly what you have done.I always wave at kids when I'm at work. Kinda makes my day more bearable.
I also knew that there was never a chance in hell of me actually having kids of my own. I would totally suck as a dad, and I'm fully aware of this. I like having nieces and nephews though. Because I get to hand them back to their parents.![]()
Good luck!Started a new job.

So, two days ago I got laid off (Boo).
But as a result I went to a casino today for the first time in two years, and I got a table share of a bad beat jackpot.
Straight flush over quad 9s. Cleared a few thousand.
Really? If that's true, that's one heck of an unemployment check.![]()
That's so cool, I've never seen one of them before.One small good thing for me: I saw a pair of Black-bellied Whistling Ducks by our pond, when I went to get the mail. They are the cutest things! I wish I had my phone with me--maybe I could've gotten a picture.
This is what they look like, although I think the picture doesn't get the bright pink of the bill:

Yesterday was not fun for me. When one feels like one will explode, that is too high!Very good. There's low, high, and about right. Any mention of Jane Hathaway instantly raises mine far too high.![]()
