Please share your triumph of the day

[Madrun Badrun]

Today was good. (however I only got like 4 hours of work done )

I ended up reading papers until 2 in the morning.

One of my best friends is briefly back in town, the neighbor who is always out of town happened to be in town, so he fed us Johnny Walker Platinum and MacAllan 12 until we were waving our hands in the air like we just don't have a single fuck to give.

A miserable pile of leaves.

[Rufus]

what's fall

I couldn't decide on which word to use, so I went along with the group.

[Kara]

No, no, the joke is that the Southland has 3 seasons: sunny and pleasant,  sunny and unpleasant, and rain.

[Rufus]

Oh.

Well, don't let the earthquakes get ya!

[king of the internet]

Autumn is the best season aside from the fact that in means winter is coming. Not sure if I'll make it thru another one. 🍂🔜❄️😩💥🔫

[Madrun Badrun]

Bought a smoked turkey leg.  Will post pics after I'm done organizing. 

[Madrun Badrun]

Supervisor canceled meeting for tomorrow.  Haven't had to have a check in meeting for 3 weeks.  Felt like a vacation.

One of my clients told me about this program to help inner city kids he volunteers at.
He's a good dude, asked me if I'd be interested in assisting. Checking it out later tonight, eh why not might nice.

I've been doing some volunteer work and it's kinda lulzy how many stereotypes are doing so with me. By which I mean, the old punk rocker, the devout Christian who wants to help people instead of flipping out about two dudes kissing, et cetera.

Sounds like I need a more interesting persona, how else am I going to influence these kids if I don't have some misplaced sense of duty stemming from some fucked up background or hear the word of god shaming me every time I take a piss.

[Kara]

If you come up with a good one let me know. I don't think "I want to know if I can cut it as a kibbutznik" will really win me any friends. Except maybe the Jesus Brigade.

Don't forget various grandmas and even the occasional soccer mom.

A couple years ago we were coming up with events/movies to watch/etc and someone suggested an anime night, and also suggested we start with DBZ. Naturally he was the only other black man in the volunteer group.


I voted for a game night (chess, Uno, etc) instead.

In the end we had a movie night and watched The Blind Side. White allies...

[studyguy]

I wrote up a big story but you know what fuck it.
All you need to know is I went to this volunteer group and walked out of what was basically a pyramid scheme/cult group under the guise of a group that helps underprivileged kids. 

[Madrun Badrun]

Got drunk while watching

Grats duder, I knew you'd get something.

I went on an Arvie-esque binge last night (I affix a modifying suffix because instead of binging on pizza, donuts, cookies, or cuddling with my adorable dog, I binged on a little bit of gourmet cheese, meatless chili, and quinoa) and today someone joked that I looked like I was wasting away the past few weeks so I don't feel that post-binge shame.

[Madrun Badrun]

I don't think you can call something without chili, let alone binge on it.

[king of the internet]

That's where I'm at atm. it's great. I've reached a low enough weight that I can indulge when I want. Having that buffer zone.

[Kara]

Got so many calories to blow tonight I'm just wasting them on brandy to hit my minimum.

[Phoenix Dark]

I feel like a dirt person. Gourmet cheese and meatless chili binges? Meanwhile my cheat day binge was going to White Castle twice in the same day.

[Kara]

Just remember that you woke up next to a smart, funny, sexy, Pareto efficiency believing woman you met at the dollar store and I woke up next to a glass with brandy in it that I didn't finish before passing out and a phone that I hurriedly checked to see if my ex had messaged me.

S-senpai?!

[brawndolicious]

I think that has more to do with spending all their time obsessively competing against other geniuses that were much more popular (see: Michaelangelo/Raphael, Tesla/Edison).

If a socially awkward genius back in the day just wanted to get laid, they probably had systems in place to do it easily (for men) whether that was brothels or arranged marriages.

Leonardo rarely even finished his projects as he was probably always busy getting man-booty, which wasn't as easy as it is today.

[Joe Molotov]

Sometimes I click to get Nami's attention.  I think I spend far to much time alone with my dog because today I was TAing and tried clicking to get a students attention.

I get the idea that the less action you get, the more wise you can be.

Just look at Isaac Newton. Dude was a genius and died a virgin. (Image removed from quote.)

I constantly use the chck chck noises I make at my cats on other people. Some take offense to being treated like an animal but I find it hilarious.

Went on a client visit today and it went really well.

Now I wish I worked for them though, I know they have a position thats perfect for me, but itd not open right now. Wouæd be the coolest working enviroment ever.

[Samson Manhug]

My wife's car has been having battery troubles and I've been working a lot recently so she got fed up and took it to a shop on Friday. Today they called her and said that the battery was bad and there was some corrosion on the cables. They quoted her $500 for a new battery and a "battery cable manifold assembly" that is "very hard to find."

 

She told them that seemed steep and they said they could just replace the battery for $300. She called me and I told her to go get the car.



$130 for a new battery and battery cable from AutoZone and it's good as new. The wife thinks I am Superman and I prevented the shop from exploiting women. A triumphant day!

Well I am always horny.

[recursivelyenumerable]

I made a decision on something this morning, and then throughout the day everytime I changed my mind I successfully changed it back to the original decision.

[Samson Manhug]

When you’re young, you have all these things to worry about—should you go there, what about your mother. And you worry, and try to decide, but then something else comes up. It’s much easier to just plain decide. Never mind—nothing is going to change your mind.
