UPS Person
Our UPS Courrier is extremely happy today.
It's weird. I don't think it's anything I've done,
but his attitude has infected me and I've caught it.
A smile here, a joke there, a well-intentioned and kind word spoken, it all adds up to spreading the happy feeling. It's nice. While I feel a little sensitive and embarrassed about others in the office seeing me this way, it's real life, real feelings, so I don't feel guilty. I feel happy. I'm so glad that, for whatever reason, this person decided to share a little joy with me today. It means a lot and it makes work a lot lighter and more enjoyable.
Wow.
