Re: the happiness, excitement, and general contentedness thr
Work called last night and offered me a promotion: 6 figures a year, paying my wife's tuition, and no more travel. Only catch? I have to move to the DC/Baltimore area, which is where my wife and I were looking anyway.
And the awesome drummer that moved away from me lives up there, so we'll likely start jamming again. Life is crazy, dudes.

Yeah, I'm still a little wary. It feels too good to be true, even though I trust my company. My wife was speechless when I told her.

Re: the happiness, excitement, and general contentedness thr
I just want to say I love my fiance.
Didn't get the job I interviewed for, but I'm not really concerned with it.
Just full of happiness today. Last pre-marriage Valentines Day.
Going out to dinner tonight for free on some gift cards.
Going to sit and watch Parks and Rec with her after.
Bought her some flowers this morning, she loved them. Was almost late for work but it was worth it.
We work together but today drove seperately because she had some job shadowing to do for a job at a hospital.
I hope she gets it, because she deserves it. She's dressed so professionally today.
/gush

Re: the happiness, excitement, and general contentedness thr
I just spent ¥¥¥ on a turntable and a pair of speakers..
It may be not much for what people blow on Hifi stuff, but it's exciting to have a decent home music setup. Finally!
Long time I don't own a turntable, and I have a few vinyls I do want to listen to.
Denon turntable and Monitor Audio speakers.. can't wait to set it up.
I spent 2 hours this morning listening to speakers at a shop, I was aiming for some cheap-ish speakers, but there was no way I could ignore the difference I heard between the Monitor Audio and the others.

I was just playing guitar and then decided to hop on the internet for a bit. I was going to wake my computer up but it was already there. I think the insane amount of bass from my Kill Kill Filter is the culprit. I had a nice laugh.
