Be So Happy

Many years ago I worked for a difficult man as one of the managers of a particular department at the phone company. One day, he came to see our group. As we walked from my group, through another group and ultimately to the stairs he said, "Maggie, everyone in this department is too happy. You are doing something wrong."  

OK, he was really more of an asshole than difficult. 
(Side bar note to Trish - yep, it still makes me crazy even after all these years!)

I took pride in our department and I took pride that the people in our group were generally pretty happy. Our little corner of the floor was filled with laughter and unmitigated chaos, but we liked each other and we had fun.

I think you can fake happiness. We've all done it. But genuine happy is a great thing and something to be proud of.

In that group was a woman who would cease and desist doing any and all work when this song came on. She would place callers on hold. She would put her right arm in the air and she would sway and sing-along. Ultimately, so would we all. I have no idea what she is up to these days, but I think about her whenever I hear this song. And yes, every so often I throw my right arm up in the air and sway.
4:11 of pure fun!
