Restroom Rage! Why? Why? Why? Why? Why is it that there are always the same number of restrooms for men as there are for women??? Every woman knows that there should be TWICE as many for women as there are for men. We have to stand in line for ages, it seems, and there is NEVER a line for the men's room! It's elementary, my dear Watson. Women have clothing to remove and a typical restroom visit takes at least ten minutes. Men have a zipper to undo and they are in and out in less than five. YOU do the math!

Time I am not a morning person. I have actually unloaded furniture from one of my company's semis at midnight rather than have to be at the store at 7:00 am the next morning. And yet, if I absolutely have to be up early, I can do it. And I even enjoy being up early... the birds, the freshness of the day, etc. But I would still rather be in bed! When I opened my store in 1995, I used to open at 9:00 am. That lasted about a week and a half before I realized that was not working for me. So I moved my open time to 10:00 am. However, I was always late getting it open! I'd get there at 10:15 or 10:27. Then, the manager of the grocery store across the street advised me to just make my opening time 10:30 since I wasn't getting there any sooner than that, anyway. So, I did. Now, I'm lucky to get there before 10:45 am! Sigh.
