It's Friday, and not only is it officially summer , a lot of the news this week is terrible . (FYI, here's one way to do something about it.) A rough week at work is a good time to think about the small things that can make a hard work day into a better one. We spend so much of our lives at work, and it's easy to forget that we do have some power to make our work environments a little more positive for the people we see day in and day out.
