This week has been really good so far. Monday morning I got a very unexpected promotion (complete with 40-50% pay raise). I've been a post-doc for a year and a half, and by the end of the summer I will be a faculty instructor with essentially the same duties I have now (yay me
). This evening I met a photographer who will be doing a photo shoot of me spinning this weekend for the local paper. He's really cool and plans on writing the article himself as well even though he is mostly just a photographer. I even got him to learn the butterfly with my sock poi at the end of tonights photo session - he wanted to see me practice so he had some idea what he would be shooting on Friday night at the beach. Mucho coolness...
So, what are some good things that have made you guys smile this week?

do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and good to eat!
if at first you do succeed, try not to look too astonished!
smile! :grin: it confuses people!
