I've been absent I know. But, you know, there comes a time when a girl just has to rant... maybe this is my gift of Karma coming to haunt me... I swear there are people in the world that just frigging do not deserve to hold the jobs that they do! I don't care how smart they are!
So there I was…in a meeting…I was asked for my opinion. I gave it, started to get beat up, and pled my case. Then from across the room my boss rips my face off!! I didn’t even see him move!!!! For a short guy he’s got good reach!!! I also learned a new system of vote tallying… Apparently starting at boss your vote counts more than once…and moves up into the higher authortities The rest of us are “just sucking air”. Interesting concept…actually my thoughts were more like “WOW! Did he just say that?” Ironically, when we took a vote on things… A couple of the multi-voters voted for one plan. Those of us (of the air sucking variety) voted for plan B. Wouldn’t you know we tied??? At this point I’m thinking this is a fun little game…reminds me of 4th grade.
On another note, my boss decided to put me in charge of a project, I'm thinking... that’s a firing in the making… My boss says he chose me because I’m organized and I will make sure everyone does what they are suppose to do, basically, I'm a hard ass. I’m thinking “there’s no need for name calling and threats”. Besides, has he seen my desk???
I’m responsible, yet have no authority to cover my own ass. I can’t even make anyone else do anything they are suppose to.. I even had co-workers delete my e-mail without reading it… Now I know I did that to my boss a few times…but hey, I know secretly it made him giggle...ok, maybe not. But it did make him yell out my name, which gave me attention, and made ME giggle… I still went back in my deleted folder and read the e-mail later though.
Days like today make me wonder why I gave up dealing with drunk guys who just want to feel my boobs.

Due to the sexist nature of the field, this I think is what actually got the media's attention, rather than the women leaving.
