I sure as shit did! I completed the order on my new computer which is about a bajillion times better than the one Im using now, and a lot cheaper than I had been convinced was the cheapest I could go for, early this morning. It arrives August 9th.
...but that's not even the start of it...
The day became the best day EVER when I got a call from my friend Steve. Steve had been my best friend since elementary school, but I hadn't really seen him since high school... he went to college two years early and did really well for himself. He's now a distributor for Carrier air conditioning (a job that he got partially through his uncle but mostly through working his ass off)... he gets stores to outbid other stores in advance sales, that kind of thing. So anyway, word got around to him that my fiancee was pregnant and that I was stuck in a job that I was getting away with murder at, but wouldn't be for long. Turns out, he had an open position beneath him, and he offered it to me. I didn't hesitate in accepting the offer for a second. There are so many plusses to it that it will be hard to name them all. The major ones are REALLY major though. One of them is that I'll be working for a great friend of mine. I have hated every supervisor I've had at my current job, so this is a huge plus. Another is that my pay could potentially be DOUBLED at this job. Another on top of that is that I don't need all that much experience... Steve says that I can pretty much be trained on-the-job, the only reason that people with business majors get this job is that it looks good on the resumee. The undeniable best part of it, however, is this: most of the time this job is run over the phone, so except for the occasional meeting and even less frequent business trip, I can work from home. This is just one of the greatest things that's ever happened to me... instead of working at a lousy job during the day at UPS, I can work at a much less-lousy (apparently) job at home and watch the baby. I'm absolutely ecstatic... after this I swear I'd take a bullet for Steve. He is just a godlike figure to me now.
And to top it all off, I saw Motorhead, Dio, and IRON MAIDEN tonight. In...fucking...credible show... and in-fucking-credible way to end a perfect day.
