Was talking to the dad about how he and the mom met, as he was an engineer, and we were on a tangent about that kind of thing. He goes, "My friends and I used to play MUDS," - and there was this crestfallen expression, as he seemingly realized that I had no idea what he was talking about..
..until I went "Multi-user Dungeon? I totally play one."
Made my weekend to know he thought I was super cool for some reason. And that someone else nearby actually understands my obsession.
I also get like 10 more cool points from his kid by proxy!
Medi says, "If kit says to show up somewhere, bring an apron."
Medi says, "Rule of thumb."
But I will write about one incident in specific because I had ranted about it and got told I should attempt to dispute the problem on these very forums. Here is my raving result!
I had gotten an almost 500 dollar parking ticket for being in a poorly marked handicapped spot at the beach. There were no signs, just a marking on the ground that a van in front of me was on top of, as well as a particularly faded blue curb.
I hand-wrote a letter to the city pleading my case, offering a most sincere apology (because you have to be a pretty massive dick to knowingly take a handicapped spot and lol about it.) and mailed it off mostly expecting any government worker to see the letter and say lolno and ticket me anyway.
They totally dismissed my ticket! I'm feeling really great about this experience. I have so very little faith in the laws/courts/justice system in the first place, but for something like this to find a little sympathy just makes me soar. Hooray!
Then I got to work a couple minutes late because of it.
Then I was asked to work 4 hours extra, which, in my sleepy stupor agreed to doing.
However, today turned into pure rave when I got a call from a factory down the road from my house for an interview on Monday. Better hours, (much, much) better pay, better benefits, etc. Fingers crossed.
I just got an e-mail from management saying that I am now "king of startups." So now I am officially royalty.

One of the symptoms of an approaching nervous breakdown is the belief that one's work is terribly important
And everyone at work started sucking up to me because i am choosing who gets to come along. Aaa power.

Too bad that's so under-appreciated.
Production manager said (because he was there, too) "I could see you easily stepping into a leadership position rather quickly."
My day is made. Made made made.
Presented to me by the original owner, who had it all her life, and happens to be exactly as old as the toy.
By all accounts, it was the only gift of true meaning and value she could find, that would demonstrate how much of a father I have been, even thought there's no blood relation between us.
She then proceeded to sing in public and full view of all who cared to see, a song of her own composition entitled: "Belated Happy Birthday to you"
As she was singing it, I realized that there is nothing quite like someone making a complete fool of themselves for you, without a care of who might be watching, to let you know you are loved and appreciated.
But when that same someone gives you something that has been part of their life since nappies and pacifiers were all they cared about, you know you've done something right and even if fate claims you in that instant, you'll be remembered fondly.
For a brief moment, I understood what it must be like to have children, and why so many people choose to have them.
... I've just been drinking champagne with Li Cunxin.

The guy behind the guy everyone loves to hate.
I guess I'm surprised at myself on how much I value his insight but on proper reflection, I think it is mostly because we have been working together on so many work-related quality improvement projects that I've come to respect his perceptions and thought processes, even though we may disagree sometimes over certain areas.
There are far too little people in my life who are like that, and I'm actually very happy that I found another.
On a related note, I did not seem to have done as bad as a job on my initial presentation due for school than I thought I did. In fact, it seemed to be quite the opposite. I feel so much better.
