Smiles

So, I'm a pretty smiley person. I'm a fan of it. This summer I worked at a job where in the training crazy Wendy said that you must always answer the phone smiling, because you can hear a smile over the phone. I thought it was funny that we had to be told to smile. I haven't had a problem with smiling at work in the past. But then I started working there & understood why we needed to be told to smile. I was about to pull out my hair in the phone room because the phones have been ringing off the hook and talking on the phone to a million people for 4 hrs straight takes a toll on you. However, even with the stress of the phone calls, I realized this morning that I was smiling while I was talking to the people. Not because I had to, or because I was trained to do so, but because I love where I work, I love who I work with, I love my job, & I love to help these people ( & the paycheck :D).
