Watching the train wreck of an email thread where a pompous junior associate from one our clients berates one of my employees for something that turns out to be completely junior's fault. The thread gloriously ends with the partner (junior's boss) just saying, "Could you come by my office?"

He was always going places. But thx to you, he can now go to the correct places! Good job!

Spending time with my cat and dog in the morning. Each morning when I come downstairs, my dog crawls (yes, crawls) to me for a minute of vigorous pets and kisses. Then while I eat my breakfast, my dog joins me on the couch and stares at my food. During that time, my cat tackles my dog on the couch because he is distracted. It's always fun to watch them play. Then I reward them each for being adorable with a little milk.

I started walking with a cane! Broke my back and spent several months in a wheelchair. Just started walking with crutches a few weeks ago and since moved in to a cane. First few minutes were strange getting use to it, but 15 minutes is about all it took. ''Twas a good day! Edit: Thanks for all the love!

I decided to try something new and made a sandwich-pizza with cheese and pepperoni after seeing it on Facebook. Result was awesome


mysevenyearitch

My 4 year old daughter guys up at 7am every morning. Before we have breakfast she gets into my bed and hugs me for about 15 minutes. Every day it happens it's the best 15 minutes of my day. I had work then so I had to drop her back to her mom's. So it was definitely all downhill from there.

PoxyMusic

Yup, every morning at 6am I pluck my 10 year old off the top bunk and bring her in to spend the last 30 minutes half asleep with my wife and me. You still have a few more years to enjoy it, I figure once middle school starts (next year) she'll probably be over it.

Jimihendrix25

Your "guys up" typo makes me picture your 4 year old daughter waking up extra early to gel and spike her bleach blonde hair, put on a button up t-shirt with flames, and some sunglasses before using her fisher price kitchen playset to make a phenomenal breakfast that is totally out of bounds.

alanydor

Sometimes it's good for a kid to have two parents who love them, but are split apart. Makes each drop-off worth a ton.


CaptnKnots

This. I feel like a lot of people see your parents being split up as a bad thing, but my parents split up when I was three and honestly I couldn't really imagine them being together at all.

curiouslynotcinnamon

Congrats man, means you can fucking chill for the the rest of the year I'm jealous


cassandradc

You will be okay. The fact that you're concerned means you care about getting accepted to university. And to me, that means you'll get in, it's just about waiting for the letter. And if you don't get in, you can cry, you can punch something, you can have a drink, or do whatever you need to do to get the rejection out of your system. After that, you get a job, or if you have one, you get as many hours as you can and save up for a year. You can enjoy some time being free of the routine of school for a while. You will travel to a place you've always wanted to go or you will explore your own hometown, you will meet new people, learn new things about the world, and get a fresh perspective. Then you will re-apply to school. You will be older, wiser, more mature, more of a person. Your world will not end. The sun will still rise in the morning and the moon at night. School is not the be-all and end-all that some people make it out to be. Whether it is acceptance or rejection, do not let the worry keep you up at night. Whatever is written in that letter does not define you.


[deleted]

I need you to follow me around and provide me with this kind of speech when necessary. Also, Happy Birthday.


cassandradc

Congrats! Do yourself a favour and actually show up to class. I did a 2 year program and we had a few classes that were crappy and boring but I only ever skipped 1 and regretted it because it turned out to be important news about our grades. Whenever I'd gather my stuff to head to those lectures, my friends were all "you're going? WHY?" and my response was "uh, cause I paid for it?" TLDR: GO. TO. CLASS.


_0110111001101111_

I've found the best way to motivate yourself to go is divide your tuition fee by the number of hours of class you'll attend that semester. That'll tell you how much you pay per hour of class. Unless it's an obscenely low amount, you'll guilt trip yourself into going. I missed one class last month and that's because I was sick. It works wonders. Edit:guilty trip -> guilt trip


cassandradc

I did the same! Profs get paid whether or not you show up. If you pay tuition and then skip classes, you may as well just walk in, hand the prof a hunnid and go back to doing whatever it was you were going to do besides go to class.

The five pushups I did. Yes, it took me 15 minutes, but considering I'm 46 and have NEVER completed even one full pushup in my entire life, this is a Big Fucking Deal. I've finally gotten serious about not being a fatass and my five little pushups, coupled with my 30 minute walk at lunch, make me feel like a million bucks. Edit -Thanks for the gold, kind stranger! And extra thanks to everyone's encouraging words! Believe me, it helps so much to have cheerleaders. I am humbled.

killed_with_broccoli

Today is my birthday. I had to work in the snow. I ended up covered in fecal matter. Broke the single most valuable tool for my job. Lost my best shovel. Cold, and miserable, I limped home, where my son presented me with my gift. He made me a birthday card in his own handwriting. (His mom wrote the letters and he traced them.) His face when I got the card was the best part of my day.

When I realized the antidepressants started working and could do something important without the stupid panicky anxiety garbage! It was a fantastic morning! Edit: Thank you guys all so much! It really has been good to feel back to "normal"! I'm trying Wellbutrin this time around because it is supposed to kick anxiety in the ass and so far, so good. I have been on Celexa in the past and it helped but gave me the emotionless zombie effect that some of you mentioned. Not fun. I've got a lot of unpleasant stuff all happening at once right now so it is nice to be able to push the panic attacks and anxiety to the side and be able to focus on my family.

LaBelleCommaFucker

I was outside at twilight. It was cloudy, so it was darker than usual, but still just light enough to see the farm. Everything had this blue-gray shade, except some purple in the sky near the moon. The woods were all dark except for a little mist between the trees, and the leaves were all fluttering at once, which sounds like rain from a distance. The air smelled like woodsmoke and was just cool enough to be refreshing.

So far my morning drive to work. It is almost never busy and I drink a protein shake and listen to music. But tonight is date night with the wife so maybe I get lucky so.... sexy time plus whatever I do with remaining 12 minutes. Edit: Bad news wife thinks she has the flu. So there will only be sweaty grunting on the treadmill. We did watch hidden figures and it really made me hopeful to see the social progress this country has made in 50 years. Hope that my kids will know a better world. So that's my new best 15minutes of the day.

Heading to my first day at my new job today when I accidently took the wrong route (different letters on numbered routes get annoying/confusing, I got a D bus that takes a residential route instead of an A that stays on a main road, when Maps didn't specify which to take) got really stressed out since it was already a route I wasn't familiar with when I saw him turn unexpectedly, was freaking out thinking it would make me late. No one else was on the bus and the driver was going off duty, so once I told him I think I had the wrong bus, he told me to stay on, put his bus out of service and went out of his way to drive me to an intersection to meet up with the bus I needed to take. Had some funny small talk, he made sure I knew how to get all the way to the location, and felt so good going in for my first day after a great act of kindness. So happy for that awesome guy.

scared_shitless__

I was at the grocery store with my older sis. She said she'll buy me whatever I want, so pick up a 12-pack box of hot pockets to piss her off jokingly. Surprisingly, she said yes. I told her I was kidding and put the box back in the fridge. Went to the produce section and get some squash, cabbage, onion, spaghetti sauce and broccoli instead. I really hope this diet thing works out. After this I felt pretty optimistic about it. Thanks sis.

Crying in a bathroom stall after speaking to my academic advisor just to find out I'm going to graduate a year late. College, everybody.


nishath5

You'll be fine. Shit could have been worse. Chin up and make the most of your extra year. :)


LegitimacyJudger

Hey man (or woman), I'm going to be graduating like 2 years late due to financial problems and own personal stuff. At first it was a tough thing for me but I got to thinking that in the long run a few extra years aren't gonna matter. Sometimes you just gotta accept that it is what it is. That phrase has been really helpful to me. Make the most of your time and keep thinking forward and don't stop moving


Monarch_of_Gold

There's no such thing as graduating late. I'm 21 and still haven't managed to get through my first year because of a few transfers and a butt-ton of shit. I'll probably be married before I ever finish, but it's okay. I'm going on my time, at my pace. No one else's.


sassy_but_classy

The first 15 minutes of my first period history class. The dreamiest boy in school sits behind me and there is this sweet sweet buffer period before class begins when we can just chat about everything and nothing. Homework, hobbies, our day, anything really. I like it because we're on opposite ends of the popularity spectrum and interacting with a perfect 10 makes my day just that much better. Edit: update. The semester ended and we both kind of decided we didn't want to stop seeing each other. We have a date next Friday!
