Surely something good happened to you today

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday yesterday.

Happy belated Birthday to @auntiehill and @JD!

Happy birthday, JD! And many more!

Thanks.
I started my new/old job today! My only concern right now is that the person who's going to be in charge of me has the same names as a person who worked there when I was there before and hated me, so I'm really hoping it's not them. It might be a few more days before I actually find out if it's them though, since I have to go through all sorts of training stuff before I go to work with them.

Today it's been 1001 days exactly since I met my fantastic wife.

My flights (Omaha-Houston and Houston-Baltimore) were all on time.

Plus when I landed at BWI I found I had plenty of balance on my CharmCard! So that should take care of what few train rides I will need to take.

There are lots of pretty bluebirds in my backyard, in the birdbath, and on the flowers on my deck.

had some Shepherd’s Pie at a pub near the inner harbor.

Spent the weekend with Mom, celebrating her 89th birthday. She's still going strong.

I had a much better day than the owner of this Edmonton car dealership did...

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

Had lunch with @Tora Ziyal. I had a Crab Cake Burger.

Everything in this house seems broke or about to brake or not work. But at least I still have the TV! and DVD player P.S. this is not my computer, it is broke as well...

Went to the eye doctor today and my eyes are ok. Small cataracts but not bad enough for surgery yet.

 

[Qonundrum]

Nope, so for today call me Surly...

After deciding it was time for a change, instead of getting the new Playmates Enterprise, I got the new OS hand phaser, to go with a vintage Klingon Disrupter.

Saved money too.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

Had a very nice train ride from Baltimore to Philadelphia.

And now I have a SEPTA Key card to add to my transit collection! Yay me!

 

[JD]

As far as I can remember I've never ridden on a train or subway or anything like that in my life.

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

I love trains. I am a total mass transit geek. Subways, buses, streetcars, the lot. You name it, I’ve ridden it!

And I collect the cards/tickets you use to pay for rides in various cities. I have binders full of them!

Oh man. The 2023 lease came today, & with all this inflation & economy tailspin that's been going on, I was absolutely sure I was going to be looking at a big rent hike. I've been dreading it... & they only popped me for an additional $25. I'm fairly certain my reliable longevity & good tenancy has become a factor

I could kiss those bastards lol

I had a really good banh mi. I went for an added fried egg, and it was great. It made my day.

I actually managed to go on a longer walk with my mom and the dogs for the first time since COVID kicked my ass. Didn't try a bike ride yet, but I might tomorrow.

Bad news, good news day. Came into work this morning to be greeted by the District Manager, who pulled me into his office to tell me they were eliminating my position in the company, for reasons I won't get into.
The good news is that he wanted to keep me with the company and on the payroll, so he created a "shadow" position in the shop.
After some training, I'm going to become an "Assistant Service Writer", whereby the technicians will come to me with a list of parts that the car they're working on needs and I'll procure them through the store's online parts catalog.
The hours are better and it comes with a pay raise.

The pharmacy got my diabetic med to me JUST before I ran out.
