The Happy Thread

[Dr. Derpface, J.D.]

As for why I'm in a good mood, one word.

RAIN.



Seriously, even if this is just a brief respite from the oppressive heat we've been having, I'll take it. It feels AWESOME outside for once.

For your interest, org members:

Today we ran a new anime fest, with my surprise that the organizers picked a playlist from the org. Ileia, Nostromo, Koopiskeva, Creed, Oro$hi, xDreww and many more of the site had at least 1 video played. When I watched the screen I was like: When did they do this?

We had an AMV Contest, and I had to select the winner. My surprise was that the video was a WMM video and it was well synched. Even the video itself made sense to me since that's weird for a Pokemon video.

Had a great day announcing winners and running the AMV Panel. I prepared a new MEP with local editors and it was a success

also this is the happy thread, AND THEY'RE HAPPY

That's what the thread's for. It's two posts, one from each person, not a fucking wall of text or anything, there's exactly zero reasons to complain about them. Shame on you, FS.

FFS, even when someone's agreeing with you, you have to take issue with it?

[Pwolf]

Yes.

It's 80F outside. Normally this would seem slightly warm...but after a week of 100+ it's like a little slice of paradise.

After almost a year of work, my co-workers are starting to appreciate my relentless work ethic. I'm not judgmental, I don't hold people to my standards, but if I'm at working I'm going to work my ass off. I make it a mission to learn everything I can for a job, so that I'm as useful as anyone can be. I make use of my primary assets; for me, those are a great memory and an ability to multitask at a level most people can't. I've finally gotten used to every position in the store (I work at Burger King, for reference). I'd put my speed at about 80% of what it should be, but I compensate with having almost no margin of error. I even keep an eye out for other people making common mistakes while focusing on my task. I know prep, cooking, cleaning, truck orders, and I'm always thinking about those things while at work. I've got a great relationship with all my co-workers, and I feel I can offer criticism without them feeling resentful for it.

Several times over the past week, the manager and an assistant manager have both expressed their gratitude for my presence on crazy hectic days (like the 4th and the day before). And I was able to work knowing that only maybe one or two other people could do what I managed on those days.

It's crazy, it's mentally exhausting, it doesn't pay shit, but it's fulfilling. And I also worked 48 hours, which means overtime, yay!

That is a really good attitude/mentality to have.

My Raspberry Pi is finally coming in tomorrow! And I got a case for it at ModMyPi! And (apparently) XBMC works on the thing! Dirt cheap media center extender for my projector go!
