Today is kind of a crappy day. But as I'm walking back to my cube from the cafeteria, the security guard, Ed (a big, bald Puerto Rican guy), calls out my name in a proud drawn out fashion. I nod and manage to crank out only half-a-smile in return, but when I think about it, this seemingly insignificant gesture has just made my day. Thanks, Ed.
(Curious to know the source of his consistently sanguine demeanor, I asked him one day awhile back. Ed's response: "Great sex." (He also followed with "great wife, great kids.") Ed's the man.)
Because it fits so well, I can't help but hijack a quote just highlighted by someone much more inspiring: Almost everything you do will seem insignificant, but it is important that you do it. (Mahatma Gandhi)
