Happiest of Birthdays

Jon Lim birthday, cake, happy Life 0 Comment

Yesterday was my birthday.

Typically, I don’t acknowledge it or make a big deal, but yesterday was really fun. It was a work day, but it was just so… satisfying. Here’s the gist of it:

Midnight phone call from my better half
Stepping out of my door and sinking into a full foot of snow
Seeing the stark contrast between our game today and our game two weeks ago
Logging onto Facebook, seeing dozens of messages, and logging right out of Facebook
Awesome birthday cake (as pictured above) from the team
First win at Pandemic, after two false starts, during game night
Arriving home to find my Kindle Paperwhite had arrived, two days after ordering

Just a happy, happy day.

Thank you to everyone who spent the time to say hello and send their love, I will respond to everything. I swear.

Eventually.

Thank You

Jon Lim birthday Life

After an incredible celebratory weekend (for my birthday!) I took the time to count up all of the touch points people had with me throughout. Here’s the quick run down:

- 209 Facebook wall posts
- 54 Twitter mentions
- 18 text messages
- 2 phone calls
- 1 voicemail

And I had plenty of interactions in real life too, so there are definitely some non-trackable points there.

I am incredibly humbled to have such wonderful people in my life who spend a bit of time out of their busy days to wish me a happy birthday in one way or another. As per usual, my presents is your presence.

Thank you for the awesome year, here’s to another one.

As usual: here’s me ruining my sweet messages with my ugly mug.
