As per the title, what have you done today that you’re proud of? It doesn’t have to be huge, even little things count, but I’d love to hear about anything you’ve done that gives you a warm little glow of satisfaction. Did you bake a great cake? Help out a friend or a colleague? Beat your personal best at the gym? Let’s hear it! Oh and I personally haven’t done anything, but the day 'ain’t over yet!
I’m in my third week of a new job, and my new boss has gone on leave this week - at the same time as my assistant! Obviously, the work hasn’t gone away with them, and am rather proud of how I’ve managed to figure how to do an awful lot of things I’ve never done before, without anyone to go to for advice!
Go you! Way to kick butt! Glad to see you’re doing so well ,and please say hi to **Crusoe **for me!
Today? It’s 11 AM on a holiday here.
Um – did a load of laundry, which is now hanging out on the line drying in the sun.
Way to go! You kick that laundry’s ass!
I’ve made plans to be productive, later today. Does that count?
Finished painting a bedroom. Now I just have to paint the switchplates and peel off the tape around the windows and doors.
Made a crustless quiche out of the veggies that were close to going bad in the fridge that turned out amazingly well. Leftover corn on the cob (kernels cut off the cob), a red bell pepper, some leeks, one tiny hot red chile from the garden, and feta cheese. Eclectic stuff, but something about the sweetness of the corn/bell peppers/leeks and the saltiness of the feta with a bit of heat from the chile made it really, really yummy.
Once my work pants come out of the dryer, I’m going to hem them by hand. Yeah, I would use a machine, except mine is currently possessed by Satan (or at least one of his minions). So I plan on hemming my pants today.
Also, I just started a new job and did very well on my final training test yesterday. Pretty proud of that!
It sure does! I thought about vacuuming. <High five>
I got out of bed.
Told my best friend I love her. Not that it’ll lead to anything, but sharing my emotions with people I care about is difficult for me.
I’m retired. I stayed up late watching Futurama last night and slept in until ten. Then I got up and went to the bathroom. Since then I’ve been online reading this board and some web comics. It’s now past noon and I haven’t even eaten or taken a shower yet.
I don’t think it’s possible to have been any less productive then I’ve been so far today.
I made up a worksheet for my first-year English students.
In spite of the fact that I have a cold and my head feels like it’s full of wet cement
I made it rain inside right over some expensive speakers. And yes that was my goal.
In the play I am working on it needs to rain outside four big windows for about 45 minutes. I just finished setting up the effect and short of a few minor water leak issues it worked out quite well. Oh and the speakers stayed perfectly dry.
So now I am going to eat my lunch, get a coffee and deal with those leaks.
I woke up with nothing to do so I played mw2 and went 32-2-1.
In team death match.
I trouble-shot my kid’s aquarium, which we pulled out of storage and purchased a goldfish for. Overnight the filter pump stopped working, but I cleaned out some gunk and got it going again. Happy new fish! Go me!
Even though I have a job now, I still struggle with agoraphobia. So far today, I’ve already gotten out of the house to go see a movie with a friend. Yay team!
I got my flu shot.
I mopped the kitchen and three bathroom floors. Made my wife happy.
I rewrote the introduction to a paper to make the referee happy, not to mention my two coauthors.
Took an hour walk with my wife.
