    Just the right time to chair a requirements meeting..
    That's the proper attitude for a REAL BA, as a PM I prefer the ones who will weed out the idiotic wish list items and "educate" the stakeholders

    To be honest I've only ever worked with one lass who got noticably affected by her cycle and that was easy enough to mitigate by being sensible.

    surely this is not true as many women hold positions of seniority in companies and they are surely not irrational and incompetent for this length of time?

    No that makes you female, it simply implies that you will buy even more unnecessary crud in the week to ten days before the painters arrive.

    All that article boils down to is saying "women are less in control of their emotions when there are more hormones washing around". Is that really news?

    Did you ever get that old banger through the MOT?
    Don't encourage him please, I had hoped that the owner of this particularly feeble sockpuppet had got bored or disappeared as the result of something incredibly nasty.

    Still I suppose it gives the Ignore feature an alternative workout from Cyberdork and his ramblings.
