Good stuff: I just put in my two weeks notice. The boss dropped the f-bomb and lots of "well, shit"s and told me he had just met with the company owner yesterday about me taking more of a V.P. role. I still declined because I am going to have kick-a benefits at the new job. I was told it will be very difficult to find someone to replace me.

But what about a root? Do they have a root?

Oooh, good question. I'm going to the Chinese grocery. I could pick up a couple of roots very easily should there be a need.

That is a super good thing, Hil. You hang on to that moment. Print it out and hang it somewhere you can see it.
 
My good stuff: 1) The SO went to the doc, was in and out in less than ten minutes, and has an antibiotic for his sinus infection, so should be feeling better soon. 2) The cute barista gave me three stamps on my coffee card even though I only had one small peppermint mocha. (He also asked if I lived nearby so I am unsure if he was hitting on me, was just nice, or recognized me from the stage (the owner of the shop goes to our church, so the kid might too but I didn`t recognize him)(Doubt it was flirting because I looked pretty grungy in my wood-hauling clothes!))
 
And best of all 3) I got the absolute best Christmas present ever!!1! It`s an Orion 6" Dobsonian telescope! It is huge; it`s bigger than me! But it is cloudy so I haven`t been able to use it yet, other than looking at the mountain crest to adjust it. The SO wins so many points for this one.

Very good thing: My 2010 project hit 110% of sales today, which is the highest bonus level, such as they are. So, if I manage to stay until the end of March I might finally get a bonus.

Oh, and then I had a dream where I talked to Sean about telescope stuff! Where is Seany? I need amateur stargazer advice! Sarameg! What resources should I look up? I am so excited!

Reading people's good stuff is always happy-making.

It's true!

yay megan!!!!

I will be seeing my last for a long time, possibly ever, of Rage Nurse and Vengeance Doc.

JZ YAY!!!!

Allyson, I can tell you that AAA in Los Angeles does not think that young women are risk adverse, since we just had to pay the premium on my 19-year-old's new to her car. We had them quote it for both teen girl/teen boy (the youngest turns 15 soon so we need to budget yikes!) and there was just the slighest difference in price ($100!!) She's never had a ticket and is in her first semester at college w/ a 4.0 GPA.

Today has been a yekky day so thank you everyone for posting good stuff...

WOOHOOOO

Charlie Brown Christmas is on tonight at 8 on ABC - and there is supposed to be a new Prep & Landing short. Tivo caught Prep & Landing, a new Disney Pixar 1/2 hour cartoon, for us last year and Dillo has watched it approximately 400 times since then. He even now loves Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire, with which it begins
