This is the god damn SUCCESS thread.

[steu2011]

I've been working my ass off for 5 years and haven't spent one unnecessary dime in the last two. Now I have my own place with mortgage payments lower than my rent used to be, my car is payed off, I bought some cool art for the walls along with a goddamn 60" TV, I'm sipping 100$/bottle whiskey, I'm going hunting for a week with my dad and I'm going to see guys punch themselves in the face for my 30th birthday.

Now I only need to nab a honey that's orbiting around and hope I get a rational one (though that may be a lot to ask )

Perfect! ANd I LMAO at that pie

[Swallow Doretti]

Started as VP for social and mobile at a major public affairs agency here in DC two weeks ago. I've already sold in $175K in new business, and have a potential couple million already in development. I think I'm off to a good start.

Better still, my old boss from my AutoTrader days, who was only good at being an utter ******* to me and taking credit for my work, and who left for a SVP job at a major PR agency four months ago...was fired Friday.

[matos]

diggin it. would love to see you guys live sometime.

You're in Toronto right? We played twice at the El Mocambo back in april and we played at the All Caps Island Festival on TO Island this summer... We'll probably be playing in your area again soon! I'll try to keep you posted.

I'm digging the clips a lot! This is the first good french music I've heard in years. I'm glad you guys are staying away from the retarded chansonnier or tounes de rock détente trends that's been plaguing the industry for years. It's about time we get to hear some more modern stuff around here. I hope you guys go far!

Thanks! It's still a PITA to deal with commercial radio stations. I feel kinda proud of the small success we have without any support from the commercial radios and all. We'll be playing at "La Tulipe" in november (the 23rd I think), I you ever want to come see us perform live

Customer blows up the engine(4th to 1st is never a good idea) in his 911 on the second lap of qualifying. Swap in the spare and off he went to a 1st place finish the next day.

[Brendan@bwalkauto]

This! The first time saying it and meaning it, then hearing it back and knowing she means it to is amazing. Mine was this summer.

Awesome. It's been 12 years since this has happened to me, so I'm thrilled. Well worth the wait.

[titleist1976]

Yeah... I made a crap load of dough last month, but this takes the cake...

Not my success, but I helped. My wife kicked 3C ovarian cancer's ass. Just had her 4th clear scan. Doing the happy dance!

Congrats Barry and Mrs. Barry.

And, Brenden... I guess.

I won $10 in "Cupcake Wars" at work yesterday.

Small success.

Agreed for Barry.

You're the only person in OT who has access to see what she looks like. Oh noes!

So, what's better? Having an awesome job or karmic revenge?

[Big M]

Wrapping up my first month at the new dream job this week. Pretty damn happy to be here.

This is the best success I've seen to date. Congrats to you and your wife, Barry.

My successes for today:

-Having two offers on a car I was worried about finding a buyer for
-Selling it to someone who literally lives down the block from me (and found it on Craigslist)
-Got my daily coffee for free this morning. (Should have taken that as an omen. )
-Closed 2 sponsorships for a regional conference I'm helping put together on the first day of approaching potential sponsors

[Jettin2Class]

Yesterday: Had my boss' boss, a Senior VP give me kudos in a meeting for my work in front of the other high-level executives.

About a week ago: completed a bottom end swap over in my car after over a month of complications, delays, and just generally the biggest, nastiest job I've ever had to do.

[GTiTOM]

In hindsight, it's been a pretty kickass week and it's not even weds morning yet.

- sold a bunch of stuff sitting around the house on ebay this week
- found out something i was trying to sell was broken. called the manufacturer and they shipped a replacement, no questions asked. now i can sell a brand new item for hopefully 5-10x what i was asking used
- friend finished the first working prototype of the startup we're trying to launch
- sealed a deal on a new car for the wife; picking it up thurs
- Conceal and carry handgun license arrived in the mail today
- need to replace the concrete curbing in my condo association. buddy said he can do it for 1/3 of the current quotes by using cobblestone instead, which also looks better. me = neighborhood hero.
- found an old book that looked interesting at a yard sale last week. paid $1. got home and found it out it was a signed first edition, with similar ones selling for up to $250 online. currently listing it on ebay

Hey! Little piece-of-whatever stuck in my teeth all day! I tried an exacto knife, floss, toothpick, toothbrush, anything I could get my hands on and fit in my mouth (insert dick joke here) YOU JUST LOST THE WAR!.

Hahah. Bitch!

This was at New Jersey Motorsport Park. There were just about 100 cars and zero spectators. I highly doubt we'll be going back next year.

Work thought it would be a great idea for the group I work with to support production by being clear across at the other end of the massive airplane factory away from the airplane. The one benefit to this was there were plenty of parking spots for cars at any given time of the day. Now though, they moved me (individually) back to the assembly line for floor support where there happens to be next to no parking available after 6:30am. Motorcycles have their own dedicated lot right next to any gate and with winter coming soon the motorcycle spots are getting more and more empty. Riding 365 rain/shine FTW since I can come into work at practically anytime and still get up front parking. A 6 mile ride means I spend little time in the rain too.

I had this happen this summer as well. It was quite an overwhelming experience and a GREAT SUCCESS! (queue Grease "Summer Lovin")

[psbahra]

Finished by big brake upgrade, threw on a new set of spacers and lowered my car.

Oh, and got a paid work term working with my prof doing market research next summmer.

[SinisterMind]

Got a job offer two days after an interview. 13% raise in pay with better bonus than my current job. Yay for me. Just have go and deposit my piss at local Quest.

[FlashRedGLS1.8T]

My son kicked some major @ss in the fair showing for 4H yesterday. to my little guy.

He won a tie breaker in showmanship for having "an exception amount of knowledge" on the subject.

[abawp]

Just saw 179lbs on the scale, down from 195 about 3 months ago. Going to give it a couple of days to make sure it's not an odd water weight swing since I've been averaging 182lbs lately. And even though I had to pause due to a nasty cramp, I still managed to knock out a <60 minute 6.1 mile run even with the stopwatch running during my pause, which cost me 2-3 minutes. Goals are within my reach.

I'm living with my kids' successes at the moment.

Daughter scored two goals in her last game.

Your post fail shouldn't be in a success thread.

My bad. Did I do it wrong? It seems to display properly...

Seriously? A guy posts his joy in his daughter's sucess and you ask if she's hot.

We care about users' families now? Where was this rule when I battled 12 pages of relentless hounding about whether my sister is hot? Funny how the tables turn. *******.

I wan't part of that battle. I would have been on your side. Two wrongs don't make a right, do they?

WOW. Can't believe I'm saying this about french music (no offense, I've never heard any that I liked) but I love it. Get that latest album on Grooveshark and It'll definitely be in my daily rotation at work.
