331 - Take My Seat

While waiting for my haircut all the seats became filled up. There were a couple young kids that I could tell wanted to sit together. I got up and gave them my seat. 2/26/11

Just a little commentary

I didn't expect that it would be so hard to find good deeds.  It is not due to me being unwilling to step out of my comfort zone, I just struggle to find them.  I am realizing that so much of my day is spent alone (please don't be sad for me, I think I make great company).  Never really thought about it much. 

To start sleep doesn't really count, due to the whole not being awake thing.  At work, I mostly sit at my desk and interact theough email and IM.  Face to face metings are rare due to my contacts being spread over the world.  I see a few people at the gym, but am generally concentrating on getting my workout over with.  At home it is typically just my wife and I.  I have pretty much been told that there are no such things as good deeds for her.  Anything I do is considered part of my husbandly duties.  And that puts me right back to the sleep phase, before my day starts over again.  I suppose I need to make more of an asserted effort to find good deeds.  This waiting for them to show up is not working out that well.  2/22/11

332 - Secret Staircase

A co-worker from the UK is over this week.  I met her in the lobby to show here where my office is located.  Instead of goig straight back I offered to give her a behind the scenses tour of the "secret" areas which will shorten up her travels.  Our building is an absolute choped up maze that can swallow up people for what seems like forever!  I was never into the show Lost, but it is kind of the same concept.  So now she know how to get around a little easier.  2/22/11

333 - Rock Crawling

I am at Motorama today watching comps and running my scale Jeep in the expo. They allow people, mostly kids, to purchase a turn to drive a donated vehicle. They also get a chance at winning a new scale truck. There were three little kids which really wanted to try, even though they were a little too young to do it. So I helped them drive my Jeep around. We stayed on the concrete and I worked the throttle. I think they all really liked it and their parents were extremely appreciative. 2/19/11

334 - Garbage Man

Some a-hole left their Chick-Fila cup and sandwich bag in the parking lot of the gym. This bothered me, so I did the right thing. Picked it up and walked it 20 feet to the dumpster. 2/18/11

335 - At Your Service

At out work campus Starbucks. Yes, I have a Starbucks down one flight of stairs from my office. A lady ordered a fancy drink, you know the kind (frappa lappa tappa mochiata with reduced fat skim milk). I finished my order for tea and noticed her drink was ready and she was busy chatting in the corner of the cafe. So, I told the server I would take it to her in order to save either of them a trip. 2/18/11

336 -Yogi

Last week in our yoga class a guy came up and told me he was watching me for proper form. It was kind of weird, but flattering at the same time. I try to perform the moves correctly. It Judy never feels like I am. This week, I couldn't help but notice the guy. I saw that he was struggling with balance. After class I went up and explained the drishti point. It is when you gaze at one spot in full concentration. It really helps with balance. I hope next week it will help the guy hold the moves longer. 2/15/11

337 - Otherwise Known as "Crack"

Two if the cutest little girls asked me if I wanted some Girl Scout cookies when entering a Wawa. What could I do but say yes. The problem is you can never eat just one. Once you start it's like the cookie takes over. Thus, Heather have dubbed these, along with others, "crack" cookies. 2/12/11

338 - Bald Tires

I helped push a guy out if a snow packed parking lot. He drove his small, bald tired car, into a place he shouldn't have. Luckily the only issue was me getting a chunk of snow slung in my eye. 2/12/11

339 - Go Ahead

On my way to a morning of rock crawling I got me a good deed. I was approaching a 2 to 1 lane merge in the road. Instead of forcing the guy next to me behind, I braked. This allowed him to pass and got me my good deed. 2/12/11

340 - Dishes

I am probably going to catch all kinds of grief over this one but here it goes. Typically the arrangement is one cooks and the other cleans up. Tonight Heather wasn't feeling very good since she was so tired. I did my good deed by pulling double duty and sending her to bed. 2/7/11

341 - Comes Around...Goes Around

I stopped in for some vinyl at a local fabric store. There was an older lady approaching behind me so I held the door for her. I picked my vinyl but chose the wrong side of the counter and the associate didn't see me. The lady came after me and pointed to me when the associate approached her. Now, I am not doing this for straight up for reciprocity but more of a pay it forward. This time I just got lucky and received the "payment". 2/5/11

342 - What Can You Do for Brown

While exiting a print and ship store, I noticed a UPS guy struggling to get a large cart out to his truck. I simply stopped and held the Dior for him. 2/4/11

343 - Warm and Cozy

The temp on our outside thermometer stated 28, but it felt more like -28. Heather was too tired to swap the cars last night and get it into the garage. So I went out and warmed her CRV up, so that it would be warm and cozy. 2/4/11

344 - Multiply by 1

Without going into the gory details, I helped a friend with Excel. The solution to her problem was to multiply her data by 1. 2/3/11

345 - Ice Scraper

When I left work my car was covered with ice. After Cleaning my car, I offered my large scraper to a co-worker with a tiny one. 2/2/11
