Stop and ask for advice?
Looks like he’s reading the instructions to see if it’s ok to be self-indulgant with photos today. He then decided it would be better to ask the Mayor.

The most beautiful thing about our attitude
The most beautiful thing about a positive attitude is how self-evident it is.

Holding on to too much, we are weighed down
Will you push the day or will the day pull you?
Holding on to too much, we are weighed down. And the drag on our potential joy today is severely inhibited.
And this doesn’t bother the crap out of you?
It does me.
Big time.

Second month of Disney retirement begins today
(photo: A few days ago as we were walking to Japan for lunch.)
What’s keeping you on edge today, recently, or coming up this week?
Retirement is the wrong word to describe life right now.
Career change is what’s happening. Received the second pension check (direct deposit) this morning though.
Weird.
Weird is good.

We generally suck at these three things, which explains our company culture
(photos: Placing us at the scene of the crime…third row, dead center… ha, ha, ha)
It all comes down to leadership, culture and time doesn’t it? A great culture doesn’t suck as much as a poor culture because the leaders are better at using their time to intentionally drive the internal service culture (the employee experience).
Two nights ago at the Walt Disney World Service Awards, we randomly sat in the third row, dead center for a special, one-of-a-kind (and one night only) return of the comedy warehouse.
The comedian took a moment to poll the audience and have them clap when their years of service were announced. We were the only two who clapped at 30, and were also the last two to clap – the senior people in the audience. Who knew? What happened next was the question, “What was the worst thing that ever happened to you at Disney?”
Here’s the freaky thing. A brain freeze. Nothing compelling was ever remembered as a ‘nightmare’, so the answer was supposed to be fun (yet true), “Leaving each day.”
They needed something juicier, so they pressed… and got to this, “Closing New Year’s Eve and opening New Year’s Day.” At Disney’s Grand Floridian.
The six performers sang a little ditty tying the two together and closed out the show.
In retrospect a key insight was revealed: a positive mental attitude can cure many things, like the daily frustrations challenges of working in a demanding, high-pressure, high expectation, expensive, can’t-say-no-to-the-Guests environment.
