Apparently the temporary highs of cleaning and food prepared by someone else are enough to keep me going. Could I *be* more boring?! –Chandler Bing
Meh. What can I say? It’s the little things these days…

Not having to mess with gross drains is definitely up there on the list of pathetic things that make me happy.
As a teacher, when the copy machine copies, collates, and staples with nary a jam, paper shortage, or ink cartridge issue? HEAVEN.
More unassuming awesomeness that makes a huge difference at school:
- Casual Fridays…
- The insightful contribution a student makes to class discussion…
- Your across-the-hall colleague who keeps an eye on your class so you can pee outside of a scheduled bathroom break…
