It's a great day...

Just wanted to tell everyone that...today...is a great day. Not for any one particular reason...not because the weather is great...but because I am happy (ordering a 400+ horsepower small block for my truck this week might help a little, but I'm still happy anyway).

I've been at work for 6 hours (got up at 7am)...sitting in the same chair. I've talked to probably 50-75 people so far today (I'm a call center operator) but it hasn't been that busy. Everyone today has been very polite when talking to me, havn't had a rude person or PITA guy yet. I would just like to tell everyone that whether your nice to someone you know or don't know...or whether your mean/rude...it will influence them a lot more than you believe. Be nice, curtious, and respectful to anyone you speak to...you might just make their day

Hopefully the rest of my day will be as pleasing


...Til I find someone posting in the wrong forum that is...... JK

I'd have to agree wholeheartedly! The day is going well so far...not bad traffic this morning, great weather (77).

Thanks for bringing it up!

Yep, good thread. Today is a great day. Beats laying in the ICU hooked up to a ventilator. See plenty of that every day.

We have a lot to be thankful for. Hug yer spouse and kids, pet the dog, stop and smell the flowers while they're still here.

We get what we give. I may get grumpy sometimes, but I still lend a hand when it's needed.

Every day tends to be a great day for me. I spend almost every moment, with the person I love most in the world.. That makes for a great time... Today I had to go see a lawyer - he was somewhat better than most I have seen in a long while, so today really is great. I got to drive my truck around, and listen to it's rolling thunder...

Sliknspeedy's truck needs a diagnostic on the tranny, so I get to drive mine more...

Well the air is getting colder here which makes me a little excited (I go snowmobiling a lot).

All I have to do is figure out what size cam I want to get in my new engine and I'll be ready to order


How's everyone else?

It is amazing what a good outlook will do. If you wake up and think that the day will be great, it will. If you wake up and think the day will be bad, it will.
