there's a song that i started out every morning with while i was working a a tedious painting job all summer...it's called pixie by ani difranco
my favorite part is:
maybe you dont like your job---maybe you didnt get enough sleep
nobody likes thier job nobody got enough sleep
maybe you just had the worst day of your life but there's no escape ---there's no excuse so just suck-up and
BE NICE.
--------
it was enough to get me out of bed and smile at everyone i worked with every morning (almost)
i like to think that i'm here on this little planet to bring some niceness and happiness and make other people feel good and that is what makes me feel good....i may be an idealist but it's worked for 20 years......
