"am I really thankful for these"
and the normal response is
"yeah, more or less"
but I'm surely not sarcastic in any of these.
anyways
thankful for
1) being able to fix those bugs.
my go-to boss was out doing interviews today,
and I thought I'd have an easy day;
but alas,
an email pops up reporting a bug in one of my enhancements.
took me all day to fix it--
trying to reproduce the scenario,
finding out the cause,
and figuring out the solution.
got it done though,
and the feeling of a job well done
makes it easy to forget the
hours of head scratching.
2) the reggae subway performer.
on my way home,
a man puts a chair in the middle of the subway car I was in,
tells people to relax
and starts singing
"every little thing gonna be all right" by Bob Marley.
while playing the bongo.
he then throws an egg shaker to a commuter,
who started shaking it,
uneasily at first,
then with some attentiveness once she realized that it contributed to the music.
did put a smile on my face.
