That title is a Weird Al reference, if you're wondering. I used to love Weird Al when I was a kid. (Still do!) In 6th grade, I wanted to make my own parody songs, but they usually involved bathroom humor and got me in trouble. I saw those lunch aides laugh at my song before they turned it into the principal!
Ahem, anyway.
Today's testimonial comes from Pegi. A lot of people see their jobs as something that keeps them from what they really would rather be doing. (I'd rather be napping!) So being NICE might not be at the top of their priority list. But when you encounter someone who strives to be kind while they work, it's special. And Pegi came across one of those folks.
I had a truly NICE experience on a bus in Cambridge, MA this morning. As I got on, the driver said a cheery hello to me, which is unusual enough. When I sat down, however, I saw that she had set out some little convenience items to make the ride more comfortable for her passengers -- hand sanitizer, tissues, newspapers, bus schedules in a little beaded wire holder, and a little tray of candies. It was a nice homey touch, that made it clear that she cares about her riders. On our way off the bus, she said a cheery good-bye to everyone, and thanked us for riding with her! Really made my day... I've attached a picture of her setup. How NICE!
I wish I could give that bus driver a hug! That is so incredibly thoughtful. And I'll bet she really enjoys her job because she promotes kindness and happiness on a daily basis. Are you nice while you work? Is there something you could do to show the people you encounter daily that you care about them?

I love Weird Al! And his much older predecessor, Spike Jones. I also have to say, that all the song parodies in our home tend to go the way of potty humor as well. :) Glad to know we aren't the only ones with that kind of sense of humor.
Merry Christmas! What a great bus driver too.
That's so sweet and so much better then the buses in Baltimore. They're full of scary crazy people and our drivers are no better. Thankfully I have a car, lol.
Holy cow, that on a bus in Boston? Wooo, that takes the cake.
