I am happy because:
Oops. I just poured red wine down myself. But never mind. The sweatshirt is black...
- I have discovered Colourful Tabs for Firefox, which are endlessly tacky and therefore make me endlessly happy.
- I was sitting at my desk doing Evil Code and deciding SQL actually smells of wee more than Java does, when my supervisor from last year just walks in! That's right, the one who is in Cambridge. She was visiting for the day for...some reason...and came to see me. So we talked to each other very fast and exchanged news and things were happyful.
- The people I ordered my laptop bag off are sending me a replacement free of charge. This is in spite of the fact that it wasn't their fault the postman stole the first one, or left it outside for someone else to steal it. I'm having it delivered to the department, where it is less likely to go astray.
- Braised lamb's hearts are even nicer if they've been left in a tub in the fridge overnight because all the flavours get richer, and these ones are so yummy.

Hooray your icon!

Views, Scalar functions, and TABLE-returning functions. In T-SQL, a language lacking many of the constructs and commands programmers take for granted... Like a STOP statement.
SQL programming sucks, like an armless man retrieving lost golfballs on a dairy farm.

They don't even look if the receiver of the package is at home, they simply put it down on the front steps, so that everybody walking along the street can just take it with them. I barely dare to order books anymore even though luckily nothing has been stolen yet.
Just imagine if you had been drinking milk...
