Happy Birthday Queen of England

Yes I know that this is JK Rowling, but lets face it she is the real Queen of England. Has Lizzie ever produced such fabulous writing? Does she have as much dough as my girl JK? To these questions, I say "NO!". So lets all take a day to remember our real Queen on this day as we celebrate her 42nd year.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

(Now when you watch this video, please imagine JK there and not Lizzie.)

Given the chance, I could probably solve all the world's problems

So about month ago, I was leaving work. I had to be somewhere, but also had two errands to run in between. I quickly realized that I was not going to be able to do both. So I was caught between a rock and a hard place, a catch-22...

I had to choose between picking up some food for dinner or going to Best Buy to find the CD I had been looking for. Now I know what you are think, "but Laura, no one buys CDs anymore. In this age of MP3 players, IPODs, IPHONE, etc. Well my friend, I do not own any of these, therefore I do still dabble in the art of purchasing CD's.)

Anyway, I decided to go with the CD. As I was at Best Buy, I had an ingenious idea. What do people love? Food and electronics. If Best Buy were to offer a cafe, it could solve a lot of problems. It's a match made in heaven! I'm sure you're thinking that it could cause a lot of damage, but given the proper boundaries, I'm sure it would work.

So I submit to you today that we all petition for a cafe in all Best Buys. It's worked for Border's and Barns and Noble.

My vent

Okay so my co-workers have told me a lot lately of why I'm still single. Instead of venting on that, I want to write about an issue that I feel is discrimination in the workplace.

To give you some background, I am in an office of four women.(Although one is a temp). I am the only one of these ladies without a spouse. That too is not my complaint. My complaint is when it comes to getting personal calls. I don't really get any on the work phone because I don't give out my work number, but all three of the other ladies always get calls from their husbands (granted, my boss is included here, and she owns the business, so she can do as she pleases.) Anyway, I feel that if I were getting personal calls all the tim, I might get in trouble. So because I have not been as successful in some areas of life as they have, should I be denied some of the same privileges? I think it's not fair!

And oh yeam, I feel the same way about smokers. Smokers always get more smoke breaks.
