Happiness Is, "Delivering Pizza"

Yesterday evening, I delivered a load of fresh pizza to a local football club. It is the first time I have done this 'job'. I have a friend who has a pizza shop across from my house. He was busy, I had some time and a van with some shelves at the back. So I volunteered to drop off the pizza order he received a short distance from where I live. I realised something as I made the delivery. It made me feel very happy.
I noted the difference between my previous job - as a software test engineer. When I did my work well, I found faults in computer programs. It invariably made someone unhappy, usually the developer/programmer who wrote the computer program. He/she would have to fix the bug and we would go through another round of testing everything to make sure something new was not broken! It was a lot of work. People usually dreaded the sight of me and went glum upon seeing me arrive.
Now, when I delivered pizzas, I noted that people inevitably seem happy to see the arrival of the pizza delivery man. They smiled and welcomed me!
Some jobs can make you and others happy!
