I could think a yell like “yeeeeeja!!” or “yuuuuuuju!!” or something like that could make terrific presentations but would require spelling as a must and the more repetition the more chance for the domain to-be free.

I think the name “the happy at work project” is great for several reasons.

1 It sounds great in danish “arbejdsglæde” and makes you focus on
what you actually want to accomplish. As a matter of fact you could
easily turn this into a mantra — hey try this out “Om Arbejdsglæde
Namaha” or in english “Om Happyatwork Namaha” or if you don’t swing
that well with mantras you could just hum it to you favorite melody.

2 I also think it is great because when people ask you what you work on
you can say: “I work on the happiness at work project” now that is not
only a great elevatorpitch, it will also be a super fridayevening at the
cafe icebreaker — And it describes what you do!

3 I also like it because it is excellent when I do namedropping: “Do jo know
this guy Alexander? No…Who is he? Well he is the guy from the happy at
work project… Ohhh I see.

Now the great think about your project name is that nobody ever asks me
what you do, the ask how you do it, and I save a lot of time trying to
figure out what it’s all about.

4 It’s not only a name, it’s also a practice. Try to repeat “happy at work”
108 times everyday before you go to work — i tried it, and it TRANSFORMS
your day! At one point I found it felt that it was quite ridiculous, and
I decided to stop. BIG MISTAKE!

5 Did I mention that it sounds great?

6 Spoing? Well if that is the name that comes from your heart, then go for it.
Picture this though: “So what do you do?” … “Spoing (and a little guy
jumping around)” … “Well what do you do?” … “I work on a project to make
people happy at work :-) … “Oh — I see”

7 Well criticism and irony never createt anything good, but I guess that there
really is one thing that sucks about the name….. You have it, and I don’t :-)

Just reading all the enthusiastic comments from people who care about happiness makes me happy on this dreary morning!

Lork

A new verb which means to love your work. A verb that I could not use to describe myself but have decided that with the new year I will one day say ” lork!”.

Any suggestions on trying to find yourself and your career? I got conned into becoming a public auditor straight out of college. It’s clearly not the job for me. Are there any places out there that a CPA can work normal business hours, travel, meet different people and continuing learning new things? I just can’t seem to find even a description of a new job I would look forward to doing.

how about a play on the phrase ‘worked up’ which is usually negative but instead ‘Working up’ which is active like the logo and emphasise up as being positive.
