Pet PEEve

I know I let of things get to me...And now it is time to add another one to the list.
This annoyance takes place in the public bathrooms at work. Whenever I go to to the bathroom at work I usually pick a stall that is far away from the door and not next to anyone. Most of the time I am the only one in there. However, it seems like whenever someone else comes in they pick the stall right next to mine. I thought it was just because the stall next to the one I usually go to is everyone else's preferred stall. This is not true. I have tried other stalls, and more times than not someone ends up right next to me. I don't know why it bothers me so much but it is kind of nice to have some alone time during the work day, but it always gets interrupted. It is not enjoyable for me to be in stall with stage fright! I am always tempted to ask the person why they had to go right there. Maybe I should next time. I just don't understand why if there are a lot of other open stalls, why you would pick the one right next to someone else...Can anyone shine some light on me???

Also, I did get a promotion at work. I am pretty excited! Let the new tasks and responsibilities begin!

True Beauty

Lately there has a been a lot of buzz about the Britain's Got Talent Susan Boyle. The unlikely overnight sensation to reach global stardom, partially in part because of You Tube. By looking at her you would never guess this women would have the gift of such a beautiful voice. She even impressed Simon.
A lot of people are writing how she has become a big inspiration to them. I am about to do the same, but not because of the reason you may think. Yes, I do believe she is the poster child of following your dreams and anything can happen; however I am more impressed with her self confidence and self esteem. Every time I open up a a magazine or watch TV, I am ambushed with tirades of weight loss pills, tips for plastic surgery, how to get the body you always wanted and so on. Not to mention all the negative coverage on celebrities that may have gained some weight... I always try to avoid feeling inadequate but when it is a constant reminder, it is hard not too. Luckily, I am comfortable with the fact that most of these people are airbrushed and they don't even look like that in real life. I can't help but wonder how it is affecting millions of teen girls, and soon, my nieces. SO how does this relate to Susan Boyle? Well after she had hit it bog time, she was interviewed over and over again. There was one question that I thought was completely out of line, and if someone asked me it, I would probably never come out of hiding. An interviewer asked if she would like a makeover or if she wanted one.
I cringed when I heard it. But Susan answered truthfully and said no, why should I? I think if I wasn't in my work break room I would have stood up and cheered. She new she was talented and she was happy with who she is. I don't see that very often anymore. We live in a society where we are trained to pick out our flaws and fixate on them until we correct them instead of embracing them. A society where aging gracefully isn't really an option. I hope others saw this as as an inspiration too. WE are all beautiful and we don't need to look like barbie to think so.
It was relief to see that some people are happy with who they are. This is the definition of true beauty.
