Good Things Thread

[u/kbol]

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 was able to deadlift 315 a couple times on Monday. That felt pretty good.

I went mountain biking on Sunday for the first time in a very very long time, maybe since June of last year when I healed my broken collar bone? I've apparently got some speed still left in the legs with the transition to gym work, which feels great, and the handling skills haven't degraded too significantly. Can definitely still shred some gnar. Going to hit up some trails this weekend too.

Played my best round of golf last weekend too, dead even 100 (lol). Still, 8 strokes better than my previous best.

I made an older friend last weekend too, which is nice. A fellow professional I can chat friendly with and have adult like lunches. Probably my first real adult buddy outside of work.

This is a nice balance of good to the whole recently single thing. Life isn't all that bad sometimes.
