The Awesome List

[Drama Queen]

I had a really nice Sunday. Went for my two mile run As soon as I got up, because I knew it was going to be a busy day. Went for a six mile hike with a friend, ate two whole pizzas (don't tell anyone over at the fitness thread!) and finished the evening at mick foleys stand-up show.

Congratulations Adam! Excellent news mate. Oh and belated happy birthday lol.

We had a bit of a scare recently that my 4-year-old brother might have cancer. We got the new labs back today and they are clean, my bubber's gonna be fine!

[Adam Wrong]

Fuck yeah - nice one tritch, hope your family are all feeling great

[Drama Queen]

Fantastic news. Hope you guys weren't waiting too long on the results, that must have been torture!

[Duckman]

I know exactly how that feels Tritch.  I'm glad to hear the news was good and wishing you and your family all the best.

Thank you guys, I live in a different city so I haven't been able to see him yet, but as far as I know he's doing fantastic and just had a bad virus for a while and that's what threw off his initial labs.

On the eve of turning 27, I'm thrilled to share with you guys that I'm waiting to hear back from a couple places I applied for summer work, having had interviews. One is for the camp I worked at last year, the other is the camp I actually went to as a high schooler lol.

The latter has basically given me an unofficial job offer, they told me they just need to get the paperwork sent over. Good times!

[BamBamBunglow]

Excellent news Mr. Smiley Good job! (Pardon the pun)

[Duckman]

Good stuff Alex, well done mate!

Well, I listened to the last show, and I've decided to jump on this. So here goes.

In the last two week I have:

-Been on stage, performing scenes of Moulin Rouge.

-Apparently did so well that I've been asked to do it again this evening, with this time being paid.

-Speaking of pay, I got a new job after a month and a half of being let go from my former position. I'll be working with vulnerable people, who have both mental and emotional handicaps, and helping them get their lives on track/working on getting them self reliant and returning to the community.

-I've been to the gym twice, after months of getting down in a depresses state about my lack of job and prospects and not attending. (You'll all be pleased to know that my 140kg Deadlift is still alive and kicking somehow...)

-And I published a book of my writing. I don't plan on selling any, mind you, but at least it's out in the open. For those of you who are interested, here is the link: http://www.lulu.com/shop/r-d-tester/a-random-order-of-words/paperback/product-22129449.html

-I made it to day 100 of my Days of Happiness on my facebook, as some of you may be aware...I am honestly astounded that this happened.

So yeah...this is me sharing the good times.

[Duckman]

Great stuff buddy.  So pleased for you getting the new job - and one that sounds like it'll really help people who need it.

And well done on all the other achievements you've made recently. 

Keep the positive vibes coming folks!

Dude, I have so much respect for people who work with handicapped people - be it physical or mental. I totally dont' have the mentality or patience to do that full time and I have so my respect for anyone who can and does. Good on you fella
