I know you were tired of me being a lazy bum 
Well, to be honest, yes. But we weren't gonna come right out and say it, we just sent private messages to each other about it.I know you were tired of me being a lazy bum
Hey, I am the last person who can point at anyone else and scream "lazy bum"! I'm just happy for you.I know you were tired of me being a lazy bum
News that epic deserves its own thread.
Just got told I'm like Santa Claus by an almost complete stranger on the internet. This makes me feel awesome.

I've been observing a Grade 1 class in the last couple of weeks, as part of my Education Certificate program. From day one, I've been referred to as "Mr. Piers". That alone is surreal enough for me.
Today, I was walking home from class. A little girl was walking into the local rec centre with her dad. She waved at me and said, "Hi Mr. Piers!"
My day is officially made.

My day is officially made.
The first time I was in my own classroom and a student said "Hey Mr. _______," I turned around and looked for my father.
You're last name is Piers? Nick Piers...Nick Piers.
I hate to tell you this but you have a secret agent sounding name!
And by hate I mean LOVE.
What has two thumbs and a soon-to-be-published story at Title Goes Here? This guy!

Lovely feeling.
Be sure to toss up your handle on the Xbox Live/Steam Handle post.
So how could such a shitty workweek suddenly go from shit to amazing?
A wild box appears!

I got all kinds of tingling feelings after this.
Three fans? Now that's powah!
The beast hungers!

So I got to drive that highway patrol car I mentioned a few weeks ago. It was awesome! Damn, those cars have some get-up-and-go. The people at the picture car lot we rented it from were being real assholes about is getting it back exactly at 4:00pm or charging us for an extra day but with that car I was able to gas up and STILL get there 10 minutes early. My only wish is that I could have ran the lights while I was driving it but....CHP arrests you for impersonating an officer if you drive with them uncovered. Oh well.

I trust you will be keeping my name on that list as well? After all, you did say I did well in the interview for that middle management position in your ruthless domination of the world.I miss having my ferrets hopping around in the boxes of peanuts, I have to admit
No worries about bribes Emrys darlin, you're already on the "naughty" list, which is the list you WANT to be on.

They said that would't be there until the 28th! I guess amazon don't play!
I was telling my wife about Neil Gaiman's tweeting that he had to steer his teenage daughter away from his phone's files lest she see pics of her stepmom naked, which led to an amusing exchange between the two. My wife didn't find it amusing, and she decided to tweet Gaiman telling him so.
She didn't expect to get a response. The posts between them were funny, but more so were the looks on her reddening face and the sound of shrieking when she realized she'd been an ass to one of her heroes and he'd taken notice. It was funny as hell watching her try to talk her way around what was basically a Twitter-sized forum jab, and yet awesome for her that she got his attention. She seems to have a knack for that. I know a Twitter conversation doesn't mean much, but as she put it "He'll forget this in a day, but I'm gonna remember it for the rest of my life."
She's still embarrassed though.

why is she embarrassed?
She admires him a lot, and her first impression to him was basically "try to act more classy". And stuff she feels shame over lingers longer for her than most other people.
