Ooh la la
*gasp* Showing off your husband's can like that!
What we need is a picture of my sexy air fryer. That is a thing of beauty.
In contrast to your regular air fryer?
Where do you even get sexy air to fry? Is it like ironing water, that you have to buy special?
Just got an email from the county. I can be on 'standby' to receive an available vaccine dose this week. Failing that, next week I'll be able to make a firm appointment for my first dose the week after. 
This is the guy who mocks me for taking cat selfies.
He’s just showing everyone his meat.
Hopefully he's not showing every HIS cat selfies.
The picture in question that received his mocking:
Would that core operating principle perchance be “actually gives a shit about the quality of work he does?”

Well, that was part of it, heh.
New pineapple Buble on sale! @Squidleybits loves it!
Don't trust those Bubles! They're fake! Always go for the brand name! The second B's a sign of quality and craftsmanship!
We get our new baby kitten in about a month!!! Cannot wait!!
Got called out during a team meeting for fixing an issue that had stumped everyone else.
Only a minor victory because it wasn't even really a hard problem to solve, just tedious to do all the legwork required to find the actual issue. Saved us from unnecessarily replacing a number of systems, though.

A whine that turns into a victory.
The Whine: I've worked a bunch of OT this week. To the point that since I am staying late again today, I will have 40 hours by the time I leave. It's been kinda exhausting. I get home and before I know it I am falling asleep. I get almost no time to spend with my spouse. This is only minor because I agreed to do it.
The Victory: Boss knows and told me to take tomorrow off so I don't incur any OT. So, I get a 3 day weekend just in time to go get my covid vaccine.

Opened a bottle of black/red raspberry wine we've had for probably 15 years.
The winery closed in 2018, and they were one that proudly proclaimed being one of the few that did not add sulfites/preservatives to their products. We hadn't exactly kept it well, and so there was some concern.
It was fine. Delicious, even. Think Chambord, but wine.
Of course, the fact that its ABV was 15.5% probably had something to do with its longevity.

Totally a "I'm a consumer whore" minor victory, but...
