The Nice Person Award

General State of Being:
Happy (generic, I know, but sometimes it just feels good to be...happy)

Song of the Day:
"I Think We're Alone Now" - Tiffany (Don't ask, I have no idea why but that's what was on broken-record-repeat in my brain this morning when I was putting on my shoes.)

Nice Person #1:
* Eddie the Doorman - Today, Eddie, the best doorman ever, who has memorized the name and schedule of virtually every employee in my entire 15 story office building, bestowed upon me a wonderful gift. He not only noticed that I had come in much earlier than normal, but when I told him that it was because I had driven my car instead of taking the train, he asked me to point out on the security camera which car in the parking lot was mine and then proceeded to tell me not to pay the parking meter.

Nice Person #2:
* The Cobbler - In my claustrophobic state of being earlier this week, I thought I'd better be ready for that hike I'd been longing for should a beautiful sunny day in which I didn't have to work come along. So I rounded up the hiking boot that sadly broke at the end of last year's season and took it to the cobbler. Today when I went back to pick it up, all shiny and new looking, the nice cobbler said, "No charge." I insisted that he let me pay him something and he brushed my wallet away, smiled and said, "Just come back again."
