Life isn't always HappyUP!!!'s - hopes of just yesterday can be dashed. Today was a day like that. It happens. You make new plans.....and you focus on the things that move you forward. Let's go....
HappyUP!!! - lunch
Why it happened - a coworker said, "let's go."
Why it made me happy - it was a stressful day. Sometimes those are the days when you need to take a little breather. We had great conversation about things that were fun.
HappyUP!!! - solved a problem very easily
Why it happened - a department found some money
Why it made me happy - we needed this solved...and NOW. This kind of problem with this department doesn't always (rarely) get solved so rapidly. This, in turn, will prevent another MUCH bigger problem from developing. Sometimes, we don't stop and think about how appreciative we should be when someone steps up and not only solves the problem at hand but also mitigates the chain effect that would have begun.
HappyUP!!! - got into a catalog website
Why it happened - I needed stuff
Why it made me happy - I hadn't used the site in forever. The "forgot password" didn't look like it was going to work. This would have meant a call to customer service tomorrow, dealing with that, then finding the time to order the stuff at a later did. I got it all done tonight.

You're so right about a stressful day being exactly the time to take "time out" and do something - such as lunch - to alleviate the tension. Usually a solution presents itself when the people involved take a breather. Glad it all worked out for you!
