Great. That will save you in the future from making silly posts about your height, weight, muscle and how you could "win a fight" against a group of people on an Internet forum you've never met...



Even better. As a contractor, take no sh.. If you do, you'll become a target for a lot more of it. Permies are like that: spineless.



You missed this bit in my post: It means, "Just kidding." As does this: We use these things a lot around here. See.

Could not agree more. If that's the basis for your choice of becoming a Vegan, I fully support it.



Was planning on just that. The weather seems to have a different idea.



No, I just guessed. And then rounded to the nearest five.

Sorry for being a pratt. I'm not perfect.

Might be something in this. I've made a few errors like sending out the wrong number for a project meeting and all the stakeholders dialled into total silence. After a few minutes I figured out what had happened and we got going. But I felt like a huge numpty.

Don't have a problem working for women. The strange thing is most of the trouble I've had throughout my career has been with women. There have been a few male pains but most of the morons have been women. Can't explain that one.

She's still at it by the way. A permie on my team got publicly shown up this morning for 'failing' to do something trivial.

Totally professional at all times. That's the truth.

you've just answered my previous questions.....

Tip for dealing with most women - it's the small things that piss us off.

That's why you will get nagged and yelled at more for not replacing the toilet roll when it runs out or emptying the bins, instead of the fact you haven't replaced the entire kitchen.

In any of these public dressing downs has she ever been in the wrong? Can you publicy point it out at the time?

People like this cannot handle being wrong let alone having it pointed out to them in front of everyone else. I quite like printed off emails for this purpose.

Funny thing is, I've worked on 5 or 6 projects over my career that have been managed by women. Never had a problem with any of them. Maybe that's because I'm such a Charmer..?

But "Mad Men", on the other hand, wow, worked for some real nutters; boy were there fireworks on those projects.
