logans_girl2001As you may or may not (based on how long you've followed this blog) at this time every year I participate in a two week challenge called Snowflake Challenge.
The challenge for yesterday was to make three resolutions/goals for the coming year. I don't usually do this because I never keep them more than a few months at most.
But I'm trying to improve my life and decided to make some this time. One of them is to post more happy content/less rants. But that's not to say that I won't ever post a rant ever again, just that it will be about something that pisses me off.
Before I knew what the challenge was I had planned a post about something that I saw at work that annoyed me. After seeing the post, I decided to not make that post.
And then today, L addressed the issue so either it bothered someone else as well, or L saw and realized she needed to say something.
I follow a blog that used to host a pride thread post every Monday. She hasn't posted one for several months but knowing what I know about her off line life, I can't say as I blame her.
So, since I miss those posts, I'm going to start doing it myself. Plus this gives me a guaranteed once a week happy post. I'm going to start posting it on Mondays starting either this Monday or next. But I want to go ahead and brag about myself now.
For the record, this isn't just about telling others when you've done something to be proud of, if you saw something that made you happy: post it; if you got some great (or even just good) news: post it. In short, we're trying to spread the happy.
My follower list is small so please feel free to promote this in your own personal blog. And please be sure to tell your followers that if they don't want to have to read about my personal life, they can just track the 'spreading the happy' tag.
My first contribution will be in a comment.

Date: 2017-01-05 01:03 am (UTC)When I got back to work on Tuesday I had a set goal for each of the four days. I passed my goal each day. Tuesday it wasn't by that much (IIRC) but Wednesday and Thursday it was by A LOT. So I managed to go into Friday with only two days out. I conquered that no problem. Saturday I did absolutely no keying (to be fair I was only there for three and a half hours because of working over on Tuesday with no OT allowed.
W managed to get OT approved for this week and started a contest to see who could key the most. She only counted what we keyed for three days (Wednesday-Friday). I was one of the winners with three hundred twenty-nine shifts keyed. To try and put this into perspective we have to key three hundred twenty-five shifts a week.
Until this past week I have not keyed more than a few hundred in my nine hour shift but on Wednesday and Thursday I keyed ONE HUNDRED TWENTY-TWO each day. I am still amazed at myself.
Also, I finished all of December's shifts by 4:30 YESTERDAY; our deadline was EOD today.
