Just interested in the best and worst things that have happened to you guys this year. Best: Got married to a beautiful amazing woman Best: Passed the lengthy selection process to become a US Diplomat Worst: Got deeper in debt trying to salvage failed business ventures All in all I this was a great year. I guess as long as myself and my loved ones are healthy, they are all great years.
Whoa, you were selected into the US Foreign Service?! That's awesome! :grin: I'm going to PM you later to ask a few questions if that's cool...it's something I've been really interested in for a while now.
Your PM seems to be disabled. I don't want to derail this thread - do you mind emailing me through the board at some point?
Best: We made it to another anniversary, watched the kids grow up, got a new dog, passed my final incident management class. Worst: Didn't get a job I really wanted.
Best: traveled a bunch for various events, Dallas for the All Star game, Austin for Conan, Vegas for Summer League, cruise to Mexico/Caribbean, back to Dallas for the Pacquiao/Margarito fight, any other year, if I only went to just one of those, it would've been a good year both of my sisters gave birth to my niece and nephew Worst: didn't gain as much college credits as I wanted.....
Best: Got hired on full-time in May after 6 months of contract work. Worst: Went 6 months without speaking to or seeing my ex, who was still my best friend in a lot of ways.

Best: Have my health, closer relationship with God, my kids are growing up and getting bigger right before my eyes Worst: The job I have now, still trying to make it work but it has been one of the hardest things I have ever had to go through.
Best: Home flooded because a pipe burst, but we basically ended up with a brand new house because of insurance after I pitched in a few dollars. Best: Moved to a new church. Best: Got a new job making more money working from my home and I'm in charge of the company. I just didn't fit my former employer and was glad to say goodbye. Made them a ton of money. Best & Worst: Got an expensive new car for my wife. I realize 2010 (and 2009 for that matter) were very bad years for a lot of people, but we are very thankful our circumstances improved considerably.
As if anyone really cares... Best: Work - Had my best year, and considering our largest competitor just had a devastating article written on them on the front page of the WSJ, I already know 2011 should be a banner year. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704694004576019344291967866.html Worst: Finally, and begrudgingly had to let some friends go. I'm getting older and I enjoy folks my own age moreso than the younger set. (cue whatever old joke you'd like...)
Best: Got an interview with Luis Felipe Sanchez, a sports writer for the Miami Herald. Also got my Ultra tickets for March. Worst: Chargers disappoint yet again. Me and my gf broke up after dating for 8 months four days before new years.
Best: I broke up with my ex of four years. Found out she was talking to someone else. Best: Got a raise and now up for a promotion. Worse: My aunt died from cancer. Worse: My ex was messing around with one of my best friends. Well I thought he was a best friend.
