so in between eating cheeseburgers in the sunshine on friday afternoon, one of my dear work colleagues (and occasional real-life friend) began thinking about the little things. the little things that rock. the little, sometimes unexpected things that make you think - "hell yes. life is awesome"
and you know what? this actually proved to be a lovely distraction for some other weary colleagues nearby in the office.
and yes, yes, i know, some people on other blogs call these "happy lists" or "awesome lists" or whatever. but this is better than that. this list kicks all other happy lists' asses.
so here it is. the list of little things that kick-ass:
(wearing odd socks and no-one knowing about it is my ultimate fave because i do it all the time)
1. Writing emails to Matt about non-work related things in work-speak e.g.
Hi Matt,
Thanks so much for the call, I really appreciate you getting back to me.
If you’d like to discuss anything I mentioned in my voicemail, or if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with me.
Best regards,
Belinda
