Why I really do like my job

Ocassionally I get emails like this:

I want to thank you for your recommendation of Dr. H's class for this semester. I can now see why he is the most "beloved professor". He has a kind heart, a great sense of humor and is very interesting to listen to. In addition, he clearly loves the English language. These traits make a 3-hour lecture go by quicker. Thank you so much for pointing me in the right direction. I'm really enjoying him. I can't thank you enough.

Now I feel all perky and happy. I like helping people who 1) ask me to help them do something (instead of asking me to do it for them), and 2) appreciate the help given. Hurray for cool graduate students!

Hurray indeed!
I get so tired of hearing "You'll do this for me, right?"
