My imposter syndrome, on the other hand, asserts otherwise...

I absolutely love riding a trolley full of groceries across the car park. It's an intrinsic joy, but it also makes anyone who sees me smile. Whether they are experiencing shared joy or viewing perceived idiocy at a grown man doing this matters not to me: they still smile.

@sunkissedpeaks2 Yesterday's was with a graveyard-shift worker, who occasionally misses daytime staff meetings, so at least it's in character. Have yet to hear from today's -- who is otherwise rather professional.
