10 things that make me happy during my daily grind
(Meme courtesy of cicadabug)

1. Diet Coke and the endless supply of ice in the fridges all over the building
   
2. Livejournal, BoingBoing, kottke, metafilter, making light, all the other bloggy things I read to keep me occupied
   
3. My commute — 15 minutes, seven of them through woods
   
4. My iPod, and now that it's baseball season again, Gameday Audio, so I never have to miss a game
   
5. Some of my coworkers, including the bestest cube-mate ever! (Other pictures of my office in that set, although the pictures of my cube are old)
   
6. The nap room; sometimes I take break there. There's a bed, and a clock-radio, and you can turn the lights OFF. Nice.
   
7. Having two monitors — makes me feel VERY tech
   
8. My ottoman that I bought especially for work and keep under my desk. Every day I love it more. Happy legs!
   
9. I have a wall of windows behind me. Of course I keep the blinds down a lot of the time due to glare, but I like having them anyway
   
10. My laptop, even with previously mentioned issues. It's a Thinkpad T41 and has pretty good battery life and is cute

Um, I guess it also makes me happy that I do a really good job all day long and am a department resource, yadda yadda?

So are your feet elevated at work on a cushy surface at work? I never would have thought of that. Cool.

Mine:
1. Snacks in drawer
2. Lunch
3. Solving puzzles for co-workers
4. Walking to other areas for information
5. Fast internet access
6. Work stays at work
7. Jacket, plus extra sweater in drawer
8. Creating good training materials
9. Postcards hanging up all around office
10. Flexible lunch time.

I have a nice window with a great view behind me, but almost never look out of it.
