Female Bosses
What is the deal with women? I would love to do a survey and see if people prefer male bosses or female ones. A buddy of mine was talking to me on Sunday about his female boss who is a nightmare to work with. She is controlling and demanding and just a difficult person to work with. My question is how do people like that get those jobs as managers in the first place.
All I know is I could feel his pain. We have all had bosses, male and female, which we couldn’t stand. I mean let’s be honest. Yet jobs are tough enough in and of themselves; I can’t understand why anyone would try to make it even more brutal. I’m still dreaming about that day when I will be running my own company and the only person I will have to answer to will be myself.

Marriage
Marriage is such a funny thing. Why do we as men see it so differently than women do? I had dinner with one of my coworkers about a month ago and he kept telling me how he was never going to get married and how his girlfriend was driving him crazy. He did eventually break-up with her recently and he moved out of the apartment he was sharing with her.
That is common for relationships to end, but what is so uncommon about this break-up is now he wants her back. Not only does he want her back but he wants to marry her as well. Unfortunately she had moved on and is not interested in getting back together. I guess it really is true you don’t know what you have until it’s gone.

Information on the Lemon Law
A lot of you may not be familiar with the Lemon Law information or what it is. I wasn’t either until I opened this website called California Lemon Laws.
There are attorneys out there that actually help you out if you are one of the few unlucky ones that ends up with a lemon for a car. I don’t know about you, but about 10 years ago I ended up with a lemon that ended up costing me double for the car in the end. With all the problems I ran into with that car I would have been better off trading it in at the first sign of trouble.
I wish I would have been more familiar with attorneys and law firms that dealt primarily with the lemon law. This law firm out in California is almost too good to be true. The Lemon Law statutes by state is set up so that the purchaser of the vehicle can get a replacement vehicle or a refund if it is found to be true that there car is a lemon. The best part of the whole deal is that the owner of the vehicle will not be charged a cent by these attorneys. In cases like these the consumer is not responsible for any charges. It is good to know that there are still people out there they go out of there way to help others. I wish I would have known about the lemon law when I had one on my hands.

The Best Credit Cards On-line are at Cardhub.com
I found a great site for purchasing credit cards on-line. It is called Credit Card Offers. It offers many different cards and excellent interest rates as well. The card that caught my eye was the PetRewards Visa. I love this card. Not only is it adorable (you can put a picture of your pet on the front of the card), but it offers so many other options. Including a security option.<img src=”http://tinyurl.com/6cvnb3″ />
The mini card will come in handy because you can put it right on your key chain. I have the hardest time finding my credit cards in my wallet and then trying to pull them out of my wallet is a whole another story. The mini card can be used just like the full-size card and the transactions will all go on the same bill. The fraud protection is unbelievable too. Bank of America will monitor where your card is being used and what is being bought and will contact you if fraud is suspected. The other option is security protection which I am going to pass on. I understand the benefit of it regarding if you lose a job or become disabled. At this time in my life though I can’t really live on worrying about what might happen, but that is just my opinion.
