I've just started working in a new firm and was handed what seemed like a really tedious project that involved a short deadline, long hours and what seemed like ever shifting goalposts. After a lot of late nights and soul destroying new requests I turned it in for review. I found out it's something that they've been trying to do for years and I accomplished it in my first month. It's being rolled out across all of our firms nationally next week. IMMD.

I was on the way to my usual customer's adress to deliver a pizza. When he opened the door, he threw confetti and gave me a $500 tip saying, "Scott! this is your 100th time delivering to me! Congratulations" IMMD

Today, it was 78 degrees, two days after a huge snowstorm. My friends and I have a snowball fight in tank tops. Kansas weather MMD

I was playing cards with a girl I like when I started joking about how I could magically produce an ace at will. I turned over the top card of the deck, expecting to make her giggle, only to see that I held the ace of clubs. We both freaked out and IMMD

I work as a custodian at a middle school. One of the rooms I have to clean is the severe case special ed. room, and the teacher always appreciates my extra effort to help her keep it clean. One Valentine's Day, when I didn't have much to look forward to, her whole class surrounded me on their way to the bus and gave me a valentine bag full of candy and cards! The kids' and the teacher's kindness totally MMD!

Today, I met a police officer named Officer Friendly. That was his real name, and he gave me a free donut. He lived up to his name and IMMD.

I was always very close to my Grandpa, and one special thing he did was to give my sister and I 2-dollar bills for good luck. He died a year ago this week. At the grocery store yesterday, the grocery found a random 2-dollar bill in his cash drawer, and gave me my cash with that. Knowing that my Grandpa is saying hello MMD!
