I've worked in some pretty male-dominated environments over the years (ship yards / army / police), so I'm well used to appreciating and enjoying the differences, rather than allowing them to be obstacles.one day at a timeComment

Originally posted by EternalOptimist View Postif the coffee is not good, and free, I know I will not be staying. And I have worked at a few gigs where the bogs were worse than those at Goodison park on match day.

Originally posted by Gentile View PostAh, that'll be one of those "differences" I was on about enjoying earlier: ladies' loos are generally OK, whether or not the rest of the place is nice. Although one phenomenon you wont be familiar with that's peculiar to that environment is sanitary bins. I worked in a place that used automatic ones, with a little sensor that lifted the lid when you had a 'deposit' to make. Unfortunately, the cubicles were very small and the sensors were a little over-sensitive. It was like sitting next to a haematological version of Oscar from The Muppets.
