Good awesome things are happening lately to me and i love it. My son turned 1 year old, i got promoted at work, and was approached by BASE hockey to get fitted for a stick so i can do a review. At work i wasnt certified at work to speak in spanish, i went off on an interpreter at work. "Tell the patient i cant help her because she doesnt qualify, by a long shot i have another idea but can't say it will work" Interpreter says to the lady that i guarantee to fix her issue. i Yell at the interpreter and they hang up on me, i call em back they hang up, so i turn to my boss and say never again. i start talking directly to patients in spanish. Two weeks ago a pretty higher up person came up to me and asked if i was the one who refuses to use interpreters, i say yes and grab my backpack thinking i'm fired and she says "congratulations we're basing our spanish program around you and how you interpreted everything. You will be compensated, become a higher level patient advisor, and get a raise, and better benefits. Man i love my job, i can help people!

Pretty bummed out tat i get a free pair of RBZ skates to demo for a few weeks and in the first period a guy kicks me, straight up Kicks me and as i fall i grab him he goes for another kick and i land with my hip on his skate, screwed up the last three weeks for me. I tried skating on the skates a week later when i was feeling a little better and just couldn't. So bummed how the heel felt like just a big hole that my heel just bounced around inside of, hey i got to try them though, that was kinda cool

Got my gloves ripped off by some corksucker on sports2k. Thats been the latest trend over there, the mods dont write you back. I think i'm done with that forum, should i "get banned" or ask to be deleted?

haha, i did, and they are sending something a little similar, i'm excited, i hope to show it soon

Just got an email from a hockey company we all know and lots of us grew up using, the email contained verbiage such as "we have been watching your hockey reviews and we like how you do them and how educated you sound" and "we would like for you to try out a few of our sticks and give us long term reviews if you are interested, please give us sizing, flex, curves etc etc on what you use" I'm extremely excited! I feel so lucky

bam, thats awesome, i'm glad you got your gear then

so what happened in the end dude? i hope you got your stuff already

thanks man! I'm really excited

a trip is a trip is a trip, i just hope you and your family all have a blast!

Thanks dude Thanks, i'm just glad for the opportunity as well too, this is great Gonna make that my home page now

Thats true but that wasnt what got me in trouble or the issue Sorry man, i went back and fixed it.

Some guy was quitting at work two weeks ago apparently. So during a really busy period of the day he walked over to our pod of desks while we were all standing and talking and were starting to sit down i see him walking to us. He stopped two desks before mine where the Pod has the power outlets controlling all of our desks. He stared at it, looked up and around and made eye contact with me, smiled and kicked the fucking thing. ALL OF OUR COMPUTERS SHUT DOWN. I was in the middle of a call with a client and muted my phone and yelled "HEY what the eff is your problem!" he kicked it again and and ran away, as he kicked it they all turned back on and instead caught on fire, mine started shooting out black smoke and then caught on fire. So i quickly called our IT guys and they ran over, saw what was happening and told us to dump the calls and quickly move to new desks. Since i called it in i told everyone else what to do after being instructed on it. Well the next day my boss walks up and says "we have a situation, i just got told to walk you out" We quickly went to his desk and he showed me why, i stared at him very angry and said "dude thats when our desks caught on fire! how can they do this to me!?" So he had an investigation opened to revert the firing and the main boss said 'nope it sticks, we're not using a technicality as an excuse for him' So i asked my boss "ok dude, so there were 12 of us that had this happen to besides me. Did anything happen to them?" 'No, just you' "ok, we'll see what happens next, thank you for sticking up for me but this is pure BS" i stood up and walked away, if you want to know the rest of the story, look in the "Sweet Spot" post, that one puts it best at how good it is now.

I got really angry at my bosses over something that was out of my control and i got thrown under the bus. So i decided to find a new job. I found a listing for a temporary job elsewhere closer to home now that we moved. Since i want to work as a pharmacist and need to start as a pharm tech i took to this place that works for a medical company with Rx's I got a call three hours later after applying, then i interviewed for the job on tuesday. The interviews last 5-10 mins and they tell you "talk to you soon" Mine lasted 1 hour and we renegotiated the original offer. Instead of coming on as a temporary worker, they offered me a full time position starting on the 28th instead of the 18th. They also informed me they're going to open up their own pharmacy in the building so i will be a priority to become one in training. The pay originally was going to be at 13/hr. Today they called me to say they've renegotiated the pay for 15 an hour until i meet bonus/raise levels. I love my life.

then its a good check if it got you drunk

at least you're ok from the crash right?

just got my benefits package all taken care of at work, i feel so grown up. And its surprisingly great coverage too, full vision, at 1.60$ a month. Dental in full up to 15K for only 3.50 and my work covers the difference for the plan. It's awesome

got made Perm at my job in record time, most people wait about a full year or longer, and i was part of the second group to go perm, kinda proud i got to do it since only three of my starting group are left and they're not perm yet. i guess it pays to be a knowledgeable guy

Thank you all so much, that means a lot, and you're right, he's a Summer Solstice Baby! How awesome is that! We're just glad to be at home now took them forever to release us. But so worth it. And so far he's the most amazing person ever.

i was 4 and had to have 85% of my lung removed, i died on the operation table while they operated but the were able to bring me back. So congrats to all of you still alive from your operations too. on the brightside June 21st at 1:26am my son Maxime Alexandre came into this world, and he's beautiful. Greatest moment of my life. GREATEST.

Why do people try and post hockey gloves on sale and use the original pictures they themselves saw of them when they first bought them? Not of their current condition? So shady. I HATE THAT

i applied but because i'm under 1 year they said i don't qualify, they're trying to comply this morning they said that they'll allow me one week but i have to immediately report when she goes into labor and it starts right there it's whatever i was told i could get FMLA and then i get told i can't, so if they won't comply, we'll figure something out

Wanted to take 1 week off when my baby is born to spend it with him and Whitney, switched to a new team and told by the new boss and the manager i'm under that they're not supporting one week off but my old manager was so their reply is "we may get you one or two days" new job time?

Thanks a lot dude!

Hard to say best punk band ever. But if you're into punk and don't know who Sloppy Seconds are, shame.

turned 27 sunday, whats a good birthday present to myself? game 2 tickets to the coyotes game. great win, great time, best birthday ever yesterday went for an ultra sound and the tech was a bit late, so she did a 3d ultrasound for us for free as payback for making us wait, saved us 150 bucks
