today was a good day
- I got Jamba juice Cherry Berry Pecan oatmeal for a dollar. I love oatmeal and this is the best.
- I had my favorite lunch near work–turkey & bacon on cinnamon toast. And someone else bought it.
- The waitress gave us free ice cream at lunch. And I got the chocolate kind while everyone else got sucky vanilla and strawberry.
- I had a jillion really awesome, interesting conversations with people who are smart about metadata and my long term concerns about a data model. And everything was fixed and agreed upon. We had several disagreements which were all interesting and based in actual concerns for a project, not petty work squabbles. And people totally respected each other’s opinions.
- I sent out all those thank you for coming to my dad’s funeral cards which felt like a little bit of closure.
- I had tea with an aspiring metadata librarian and we geeked out about metadata. And it made me realize what I’ve accomplished in the last few years. Go me.
- I was told awesome rare beers would be delivered to me tomorrow at work.
- I got around 5 awesome pictures when I usually have to try hard for one.
- It was sunny for the first time in ages, and I realized my desk gets great light, making it the first desk I have ever had where a plant might survive.
- The weather was perfect and beautiful.
- I realized all of my coworkers are kind of awesome.
- I finished a book and started a new one (which I always love doing).
- Hopslam drops at my local liquor store tomorrow.
- I made plans to see the movie adaptation of one of my favorite books tomorrow.
- I did not have to use my AK.

#15 made me laugh out loud.
I’m glad things are going so well! Where is the awesome rare beer from?

I am glad it amused someone other than me!
The beer is from a mystical land known as “Wisconsin.” My coworker lives there and brings in its beer.

Yay! I love the book you have just started reading. It’s a great audiobook too.
