Re: The Good News Thread
I'm starting a new job in a few weeks and leaving this current one. I like what I do, (non-profit, working with injured military service members) but the non-profit is HORRIBLY run and run by someone who is terribly vindictive towards families she doesn't like. I don't want to get too specific but... It's bad. Feels like high school sometimes. Plus we butt heads and the pay is downright highway robbery (I get paid below minimum wage) So I'm getting out of that situation.
Going to actually do work in my field of study, working with adults with autism, again in a non-profit setup. I like non-profits, what can I say?

Re: The Good News Thread
Thanks. I think you thanked me once when I got the job working with the military service members.
I forever want to work in a community where I'm helping others or a struggling or overlooked population. I should've been a social work major.

Watching a movie this evening, 5.1 quake hits, fiancée and cats freak out. 12 floor apartment was waving like French flag of surrender. No damage, no biggie. Fiancée wants to leave CA. Sissy.

Something like that, although the previous one was 'meh' by comparison.

Re: The Good News Thread
Appeared before the State's three major elected officials seeking approval of my client's highly contentious project. After approval by 2-1 vote, was told by my client that my presentation was "masterful" and heard through another attorney that one of the deputies to these officials commented that my presentation was "an excellent example of client advocacy".
... and, to top all off, as part of the presentation, and in response to a really, really stupid suggestion from one of the officials, I was able to firmly, professionally and correctly tell an elected official with considerable power that he was wrong, was being stupid and needed to sit down and shut the F up. No one in the room disagreed. Client bought me lunch and beer. It tasted far too sweet.

Re: The Good News Thread
Six months into the new job. Loving it. Sh**-ton of work to do, but it's all good b/c it is interesting, bosses love me & let me know it, and more importantly, let the powers that be know it.
It's amazing how hard you work at being the best when it's actually noticed and appreciated.

Anything that keeps your post count down on here can't be bad.
