Clare_Bear's smiley happy thread

rlw

Tomorrow, or Good Friday anyway, is the 40th anniversary (that I can pin down to an actual day) of being with mrsrlw.

It's a long time and so much has changed about me and about life in general that it really does feel like a life time ago.

Bumping this because a) we all need a bit of positivity right now, and b) I just finished a massive project that's taken the last 2.5 years, and was the first thing I was put in fully charge of after my last promotion. Huge milestone and an even bigger relief to have it off my plate. 

WIS for the bump !

And I'd add a Wow for your news if I could - well done - there's too many projects that get abandoned, great to have the sense of accomplishment.

Cheers. A lot of what I work on is either 6 weeks or several years, so it’s great to have something meaty actually get completed in full. Hopefully a bunch of new work coming out of it with the same client as well. But for now, wine and sleep!

in celebration of the smiley happy thread  

today I weigh 11kg less than I did this time last year [that is 24lbs in old money].

indeed I weigh less now than I did back in the summer of 2006.

what little of me there is left, which, to be fair, is still rather a lot, is feeling somewhat proud and accomplished.

wishing you all a very happy Easter

Ah, but Cowell is returning as head judge of a musical themed game show. Winners can cash out or return the following week to battle on and win more money.

Did you really think Cowell would go quietly?

He is the Freddy Krueger of light entertainment. He keeps coming back.

This is a happy thread and you had to ruin it.

Far too loud, 60 people playing different songs in different time singnatures and keys, mostly wrong, and everyone blaming @bridgehouse because he's on bass.

Actually, I offered to do the wedding band for him and he rejected it out of hand saying I had other responsibilities during the day. I'm not sure what I have to do other than make sure the missus has enough hankies.

My 15 week old grandson trying to say 'good morning' back with a great big smile on his lovely happy face.

Getting sick of current job and all my favourite people are leaving for better offers with competitors. I had 2 interviews last week and one confirmed during the call that they want to hire me to be commercial manager for their new subsidiary provided they can sort out the structure of the new entity quickly enough to get me an offer. It’s in green hydrogen (among other things) and right up my street. 

Fingers crossed!

Thread resurrection!

This week was pretty good. 

Been told were getting orders for two chunky and interesting jobs I designed; one is an events sound & light system for a sports/multifunction hall, the other is a corporate HQ but with three LED walls and eight subwoofers in one room, which should be at least mildly impressive. 

Also I've mostly got the hang of working with arrays in Visual Basic. Yay me etc.
