Monday’s question – In your own work, or day to day life, what events give you joy? [...] I’d think that even if I worked in an office there would still be something that would make my day, so, what is yours?
And by way of a reply…
One of the things I will probably miss most about working at Specsavers when I start my new job next month is also the thing which makes me smile.
The place I normally stand at work is quite central to the store. I am close to 3 or 4 dispensing desks where patients are measured up for their glasses or fitted when collecting.
When you see a young child, especially with a really high prescription, putting on their sponge bob square pants glasses for the first time – their face is an absolute picture. They just kind of stare, dumb-struck and blinking at everything… Usually whomever is fitting their glasses being the first thing they look at. It’s hard to imagine but from having been unable to see much at all and not knowing any better; they’ve suddenly and unexpectedly been given the gift of crystal clear sight… So Tom, that is what makes my day.
