is it Easter?

it is funny and yes, i am a little jealous that everyone who has a normal job is able to work during the week so they can 1.) relax on saturday and 2.) go to church on Sunday, especially this sunday since it is Easter. the traditional "yearly" celebration of the resurrection of my/our Lord jesus christ. yet i have to work and unfortunately i am not able to participate AND since i went to bed at 9pm and woke up around 745am, i have to work all day. i wanted to get up around 4am and work so i could possibly go to late service but definitely lunch at a friend's house. but that didn't happen.

so here i sit at vanderbilt in the basement of the medical center with a hat and glasses reading policy updates to complete my training for the year so i can get my 3-5% raise affective June 2005. yay! however, i was reading the information about how the pope could not speak at sunday's Easter Mass and then i read this article about how a bishop in the church of england is calling for Prince Charles to apologize. the statement i found interesting was this one: "but the Church of England - of which Charles will be supreme governor when he is king - has qualms about remarriage for divorcees."

how funny because that is the whole reason that the Church of england was founded--because Henry VIII could not get a divorce from the pope, so he officially separated the Catholic church in england from the universal Catholic Church and started the Church of England so he could get a divorce since his wife wasn't having boys (which, i think, further adds to the lunacy because it wasn't even the wife's fault she wasn't having boys!! Henry should have divorced himself!) however, i do find that funny that the Church doesn't want to marry Prince Charles and Parker Bowles. well, those are my thoughts for easter right now.
