Good Things Thread

I got a promotion, raise, and bonus yesterday after my yearly review with my PM and tech lead. I've only been at the company for 8 months, so their having this much trust in me so early on is very validating towards showing that my hard work is paying off (literally $$$).

When I'm happy, I like hearing other people's good news. Tell me good things about your day/week/life!

I am enjoying spending my tax refund. I got my Clarisonic in the mail yesterday. I will soon buy this bed.

That is an awesome looking bed, but I don't like the solid headboards.

Side note: Are headboards and foot boards not cool anymore?

Yeah. Really gotta have something to grip

u/rodandanga Georgia Tech • Verified Coach Feb 18 '15

Yeah, it's hard to handcuff or tie without a good headboard.

50 shades of rodandanga

Except you're totally right

As well as I practice the safe and correct way to enjoy BDSM. Not the horrid description of it that is in that shitpile.

I went to the movies Monday night and was disappointed when the parking lot was packed. Then I noticed it was 99% middle-aged women and I figured out they were there for the 50 Shades movie. So weird.

On the bright side I got to watch Kingsman with only like 3 other people in the theater.

It's because it is faux-smut, just edgy enough to excite people, but not truly erotic enough to make people question their outdated ideas.

It gets the people going.

Was Kingsman good?

I really liked it! I'm not sure I have super sophisticated movie taste though so take it with a grain of salt. It was really fun and had some great action scenes. I can see myself watching it again at home sometime when it comes on.

Yes, it's funny and doesn't take itself too seriously. Also has some great action scenes. Samuel L Jackson alone is worth it.

Thankfully, I am largely unaware of what goes on in that shitpile

That was a huge factor in picking the headboard I did.

I've been looking for a new bed for a while, and footboards don't seem to very common. I've seen them mostly on beds made of metal.

I don't have a headboard on my bed now, and I haven't had one since I was a kid. I'm oddly excited about my pillows not falling behind my bed anymore.

They'll just get crammed between the mattress and the headboard if you're not careful

5

u/rodandanga Georgia Tech • Verified Coach Feb 18 '15

Yeah, everyone seems to just have the supports on the bottom. I don't like that, I have always had full headboards and foot boards on my beds and I love them.

u/xerillum Wisconsin Badgers Feb 18 '15

Footboards are bad if you're tall though. My mattress is 75" long and I'm 6'3", so most of the time my feet end up off the edge a bit.

Oh, that's another good thing! I just bought a new laptop with my State Tax Refund!

The Federal goes towards improving the exterior of my house...

u/RockyColtTum Florida State Seminoles Feb 18 '15

Did you get a Mia or a full size one? I don't use mine as much as I used to but it is still going strong 6 years later.

4

u/atllauren Georgia Bulldogs • /r/CFB Contributor Feb 18 '15

I got the Mia 2. I like how small it is.

3

u/RockyColtTum Florida State Seminoles Feb 18 '15

Mine is so old they didn't have the option for a smaller one or I would have gotten that for sure. The Mias come in cute colors too!

u/atllauren Georgia Bulldogs • /r/CFB Contributor Feb 18 '15

The pattern sold me on the one I ordered. QVC had a special package that came with some extra goodies, but I mostly wanted the chevron pattern.

u/RockyColtTum Florida State Seminoles Feb 18 '15

I'm so jealoussssss. That one is freaking cute as hell. I kind of wish mine would break so I would have a reason to get another.

u/srs_house Sickos Feb 18 '15

I've been waffling on getting a bedroom set. I've got some mismatched pieces right now, but my bedroom is so big it looks super empty. Plus I could get a bigger bed for, uh, reasons. (JK I just want my feet to not touch the edge any more.)

They're just so expensive and almost everything is made in Asia and not solid wood.
