Rain or Shine

As I drove through the pouring rain and grey skies, (of course, it had been sunny 10 minutes earlier), I wondered what kind of effect the weather has on a person. Personally, I hate rainy days. It makes the world seem a little sad, and I would much rather be walking through 100 degrees and sunny skies. So, if the weather makes an impact someone personally, what other kinds of effects could it have on their lives? Let's say two people, Sally and George, had an interview for a great job at thte same company. Sally's interview was the day before George's interview, and it just happened to be a day when it was 75 degrees, sunny, and pretty much perfect. Sally woke up with a smile on her face as she looked out her window to the beautiful world. She got ready, and drove to the interview with her windows down and music playing loud. On the other hand, George wakes up the next day to rain hutting his window. He rolls out of bed and drives to the interview in rainy day traffic, and gets his shoes muddy and wet on the way up to the interview. Who do you think had a better attitude when they walked into the interview? Who had a better interview? Sure, some people may like rainy weather, but for some the difference between rain and sunshine can affect their attitudes. Rainy days may in part be responsible for lower motivation at work, lower productivity, and even lower test scores. Who knows what the world would be like if everyday was a sunny day.
