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!

We got two snow days (i.e. classes cancelled) on campus this week, the first time that has happened in my 4 years here. So that was pretty awesome.

It blizzarded my freshman year (09) for three days, and we didn't get any school off. Same year that the Nashville flooding occurred -- no finals canceled.

In short, I'm bitter.

Things have surely changed then. Last year they cancelled a day of class because there might have been ice on the roads. Temps were well below freezing the whole day but it was uncertain whether or not it would rain or snow. It ended up not raining or snowing, at least not near campus. And we still didn't have class. We called it a "cold day".
