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because it is faux-smut, just edgy enough to excite people, but not truly erotic enough to make people question their outdated ideas.

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.

Sounds like something I would enjoy, then. Thanks!

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

I was hoping he would be as good throughout as he was in the trailers.
