A positive attitude causes a chain reaction of positive thoughts, events, and outcomes. It is a catalyst, a spark that creates extraordinary results.

Each time telling us he'd only be a moment.  Then as we were talking about his job he went out of his way to tell us we were doing some things wrong at our company.  Did I mention he was legally blind?  And this was a computer/customer service job?  So we didn't hire him, and then he pulled the "your just not hiring me because I'm blind card!"  We responded back to him that, NO we would have tried to make accommodations for your disability, we didn't hire you because YOU ARE A JERK!  AHHH the fun of employment!

It was six years ago today.  I was preparing for my morning radio shows as I had done for years before.  The first airplane hit and being in technology, my first thoughts were that it was the biggest computer glitch that has ever happened!   Then at the moment of the second impact there was no doubt.  The world as I was living in it would be forever changed.  This was not a technology error, someone was attaching us in an entirely new way.  Here's a timeline of those events.  http://www.september11news.com/DailyTimeline.htm

He lived big!  and sadly overnight, he has left us.  But perhaps no other male singer has had such an emotional effect on so many people.  Pavarotti will long be remembered as the benchmark of quality.  To put a little smile on his passing, we have for you one of his "contracts" that gave instructions to the hotels and backstage areas of just how he wanted thing setup.  AHHH if only we could live like that!   Goodbye Luciano!  We will always remember your voice.   http://www.thesmokinggun.com/backstagetour/pavarotti/pavarotti1.html
