Do people really go to work with a smile on their face?

  Yes! I did for may years after my career change into the high end CAD world. And more recently I am doing it again working with people I love on a startup (manufacturing related) I believe in.

  Yes I did it on my last job for a year at least. Good project, learning, good direction for the team, etc. (and of course "more important" things like a salary, friends, family, etc was all in balance). It was not an easy job though, sometimes I was tired, exhausted by the end of the workday. But it felt like being tired after a good exercise session: feeling of accomplishment. I left the job when the smile disappeared (non-technical reasons). Then I realized that the smile in question was a really important thing to me :-)

  I think there's a difference between being 'content' and being 'happy', where happy would lead to a smile, and content is more of a general satisfaction that may not lead to a smile. I would argue that being content is the minimum here rather than necessarily having the smile (but certainly a smile is much stronger and more noticeable of a sign); and that there are many more people who are content going to work than those who go with a smile.
