It's challenge time!

Comment with Just One Thing you've accomplished in the last 24 hours or so. It doesn't have to be a hard thing, or even a thing that you think is particularly awesome. Just a thing that you did.

Feel free to share more than one thing if you're feeling particularly accomplished!

Extra credit: find someone in the comments and give them props for what they achieved!

Nothing is too big, too small, too strange or too cryptic. And in case you'd rather do this in private, anonymous comments are screened. I will only unscreen if you ask me to.

Go!

I live tweeted my reaction to tweets being posted by people at the Disability Confident event in Swansea (government initiative to tackle the 2m person disability employment gap, by explaining how employers are just embarrassed about disability)- and got about 5 times the volume of retweets as all the actual attendees combined. It was actually even worse than these events usually are for people tweeting how 'inspiring' we are, with a special award to the woman who doesn't like us calling ourselves disabled people and wanted to start another debate on naming and see if we gave the right answer this time.... (Even though she was fully aware what the Social Model is and why we choose to use disabled people). Still yet to see anyone come out of a Disability Confident event actually tweeting about how disability discrimination in the workplace must be stopped.
