      Well, that was silly of you.

      Fine.

      I'd start talking to your HR department - complain of sexual harassment from her, so she gets the boot before you do.

        I can do that too; it's a test management thing. Chapter 1; Test management methodologies, Chapter 2; test specification techniques Chapter 3; swearing at dickhead Project/Line managers.

            Oh yes, I target my profanities. There is a special appendix for swearing at reps from so-called ' system integrators' who think every defect should be called a 'change request', but that would be quite simply too obscene for publication.

              Simply bitching to him is fine, but sending a snotty email around the office is unprofessional/unacceptable and he should call her on it one way or another or she knows she can bully him.

              MF, you need to learn to stand up for yourself in the workplace.

                Nor is 'bollockes', whatever that means.

                    That is the familiar form of what is quite acceptably a term of indearment.

                    Example :

                    Queen : One was supposed to be visiting Sandringham this weekend, but old ****y bollocks double booked us for a night out with Charles and Camilla.

                    Prince Phillip : Oh ffs she's orf again.

                      d000hg, your .sig is very conspicuous for people reading threads at clientco.

                      Could you consider replacing it with a full screen Excel spreadsheet, so no one will wonder what we are reading?
