Negative People...

Everyone has encountered them. Instead of looking at a situation as positive or neutral, the automatically go to the negative.

On my last assignment, I had the pleasure of sitting next to one of those people. Well wouldn't ya know it, an earthquake happened! This guy was so incredibly negative that everyone huddled around him as if he were a prophet. I spoke over the cubicle, "hey mister doom and gloom, can ya give me the winning lottery numbers since you all?" He started laughing. He asked why I called him "doom and gloom" and I told him that everything he does and says is based in the negative. He replied "well, the world's gonna end." To which I said, well that may be so but I'm not going to approach everyday with fear, I will simply live it as if it is my last. I wanna go out with a smile on my face and no regrets. So cheer up and be thankful you are allowed to be here at this time. At first he would tease me and call me miss sunshine. Then like a flood, he turned his way of thinking around. He came in smiling and hopeful. "This house is clean." I thought to myself and to quote a line from Poltergeist.

Have a great day!!!!!
