Have you heard the good news?

Have you heard the good news?
I couldn't find a thread dedicated to letting people express good things happening in their lives, so that's what this is! 

So, I got the job I wanted and I'm really happy about it! 
I'm so happy! WOO! 
Finally, a job where I can focus on my studies. 
I'll be working at the student bookstore at my school, and they are super accommodating because it's designed for students. So I'll only have to work like 10 hours a week and I get to focus on being a college student for once! 
I'm just really happy and relieved. It's hard going to school while working 32 hours per week, and my grades suffer for it. It makes me so mad because I really want to dedicate myself to my studies and grades, and before I couldn't and there was nothing I could do about it. It made me mad that the reason I couldn't get perfect grades was out of my control.

So what good news does everyone else have?

RE: Have you heard the good news?
It took me 6-1/2 years to get a 4 year degree, as I had to work for a living (even though the GI Bill helped). :violins: My GPA was good (I was on the dean's list) until the semester I met my wife to be. GPA tanked and I had to work more hours to support her. After I graduated, I went to work for a company that ran me around on promotions and pay raises for 25 years, with a brief stint of 5.5 years of being unemployed and underemployed. I worked my ass off, saving all I could. Management asked me when I expected to retire; I told them 65. My wife nagged me into seeing a money advisor. I went, and found out that I could retire at 62 (3 years ago). After that whole tale of woe, you may ask why I'm happy.

TL;DR version. I had enough saved and invested to retire at 62, and am enjoying retirement quite a bit.

Yes. Jehovah loves us, and wants us to experience a life of Paradise in a peaceful New World.

May I come in and talk to you?

Congratulations on the job!

Condolences for having to deal with bloody students!

Hopefully you don't have to deal with MEDICAL students!

The polyp that they removed turned out to be normal tissue. Either the proctologist was bored, the resident needed practice, or that was the MD's pay back for not praying with him prior to the procedure.

 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

@ MM. I secretly wish I owned a bookstore.

@ Good news. It appears that I actually -do- have some sort of ridiculous pitless peach variety.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
