Thread title is pretty self-explanatory. For example:
Today, I managed to change the light bulb in one of my car's headlights without having a screaming, tool-throwing fit.

I measured a new personal best for mileage filling up the car today: 38.4 mpg, versus the previous 38.3.

In 2007 I won two headline writing awards (at the newspaper I was fired from ... got notice of one after I'd been fired, even...)
One of them I basically put the story in the paper JUST so I could write the headline. It was about Tony Blair receiving a vote of no confidence, and my headline was "Labour's love lost".

I set up my bicycle on a trainer and have been able to do about an hour of riding a day on moderate difficulty without my ankle imploding.

After the move this past summer and midway through a massive job of breaking down boxes, I got fed up with the stickiness of my blade, so I took apart my utility knife and installed a fresh blade all without cutting myself or spending an embarrassing amount of time.
I'm the least handy person I know and felt proud for hours.

I used to watch a Jeopardy-like trivia show in France, where the host speaks impossibly fast. If I could understand anything he said, it was an accomplishment. One day there was a category about the crusades, and I understood everything, I was yelling answers at my TV that the contestants didn't know. |

Minor accomplishments I'm inordinately proud of are probably the only things motivating me that aren't based on guilt or boredom.

My latest is that I'm proud of my foresight the other day in immediately volunteering to take a later connecting flight out of Baltimore. For just hanging around the airport an extra 3.5 hours I got a $556 voucher from Southwest.
The voucher/credit must be used within 12 months, which has a spillover accomplishment in that it is helping me narrow down where/what I'll do for vacations next year instead of constantly changing my mind every couple of months.

Today I managed to get through my entire lunch without spilling gravy on my sweater. This is a very rare occurrence. Usually I can manage to get gravy on my shirt even if I'm not having gravy.

When I devised my custom lopsided 4-4-2 in Pro Evolution Soccer 4, and soon had opposing defenders collapsing in on my midfield who could then release the left wing into a near unpopulated backfield to wreak havoc. Even moreso when I found I could use the L2+X offside trap hot button combination to create a high-pressing defence.

One day there was a category about the crusades, and I understood everything, I was yelling answers at my TV that the contestants didn't know. Questions pour un champion ! Julien Lepers does speak insanely fast . I'm pretty sure he's on cocaine. " TOP : Je suis un célèbre chevalier de la première croisade au statut quasi légendaire. Connu comme le Chevalier au Cygne, ma statue orne la Place Royale de Bruxelle... Je refuse le titre de Roi de Jérusalem, après l'avoir conquise, au profit de celui, plus humble, d'Avoué du Saint-Sépulcre. Je meurs empoisonné après avoir mangé une pomme de cèdre offerte par l'émir de Césarée... je suis... je suis ?". |
