It should be within reasonable range, like e.g. you won't wake up as a Yedi or Superman tomorrow and world hunger won't be solved just in a few days, etc

Opening my email and have the work invitation I've been waiting on for nearly two months.

(before someone asks: I wasn't tricked or fooled. I did the interview, got the direct responsible for the hiring calling me and asking if I was interested, the whole deal. But I'm waiting for a formal invitation from a national agency, for which I'll be working as a private contractor; this implies a lot of beaurocracy and too many big wigs getting bothered to have a meeting to approve having things done.)

A decent time in Saturday's race. Not a medal of anything, just nothing too embarrassing.

If I found or was given about 10k, my life would take a pretty nice turn towards being able to stop relying on my parents when a crisis happens.

My wife's car has a blown headgasket, and we were quoted by 2 mechanics that it'd be about 5k to fix since the engine overheated for a long period of time (sensors didn't tell us it was overheating) and needs to be replaced. This is dumb since I still owe about 5k on the car it's self so I'd probably just pay the car off to get out from under it and use the other 5k to find a better more reliable vehicle. Man, that shit would be nice.
