It's possible, apparently you can be too bloody cheerful. and according to some colleagues in Brussels I am today. But they're not complaining, neither am I, since I quite enjoy my mood! However I should leave the singing tone behind because it'll freak some people out.
It makes me wonder though, how can anyone be too bloody cheerful!? Would anyone prefer me to be in the massmurder mood!? Would that make the working day more interesting?
And by the way all those forwarded e-mails about smiling because the smiles will come back to you... it's all a lie!!! I tried it, and it didn't work, people looked at me as if I were a raving lunatic, some of them even shouted at me: "what's wrong with you?", "what are you smiling about?"
Maybe I'll start a slideshow and forward it to everyone I know and to everyone whom I don't know but once sent me an e-mail telling me that I should smile to be smiled at, stating: "if you don't want to be put in a psychiatric institution, put on a normal face, don't smile at people, don't say goodmorning to people you don't know."
That's the lesson of today

Too right people can be too cheerful. Usually I don't complain, but I have been known (in the past) to go straight for the jugular if people had the nerve to sing a "Gooood moooorning" my way. On a Monday. At 8 am. Before my first coffee! These days I just ask them if they gained weight lately... kills the best of moods. I think that's called passive aggressiveness. :)
Nah, good on you, K-dawg. Keep up the good spirits. :)
lol, I kinda get Lars's point there. If you are in a bad mood, somebody else pushing it in their face how bloody goodmooded they are doesnt help :D Sorry Karen, there's no room for happy people at work :D
