What are you proud of?

I am applying for jobs. I found this amazing job that I would love to apply for and I have hit a road block. They ask you to answer one question when you email them with your resume. 

That you tell them something that you've done recently that you are proud of. 

I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO ANSWER THIS QUESTION. 

I honestly feel like it’s impossible that I haven’t done anything in the last year that I am extremely proud of. 

Last year I ran and completed a half marathon, which I am extremely proud of but think it just happened to long ago to talk about. I have also done some really cool things at work, that I guess have never been done before. But I am not extremely proud of. This presents my dilemma. 

This also reminds me of how, I have completely messed up every interview I’ve been on in the last two months. I just can’t get overly excited about what I do at work, mostly because I don’t find it very challenging. The worst part is, I talk to other people and their like “Oh my gosh, you did all that! And I am normally just like “Yeah, should it have been difficult?”

Google Translate is a giant troll

So I'm applying for a pet and the person said it's okay to use google translate from english to Spanish. Then I get a neomail with the following:

Hi corey, I had to read the app, and good thing I read it. There's a part about quittin smoking. Is that right or google traslator just messed up o_O?

  The first thing I thought was WTF WHERE? When she pointed it out to me I completely flipped my shit. I was so embarrassed and even had a friend go over it for me twice. Both him and google translate are giant trolls. Thankfully she thought it was hilarious and let me fix it. I may never do this again...
