At one time in the distant past, I worked as secretary for a tiny Colorado school for a few months. I agree, a smile, a thank-you, most anything like that is always appreciated.

I got out of that job as soon as the school year ended. It just wasn't for me. The best part was the drive to it. 'Most every day I saw antelope, deer, elk, buffalo and eagles. I still miss the drive, if not the job.
