Equality.....yeah right

[Pawsitive Thinking]

In our office we have a dry wipe board where everyone can put their appointments so we know who is in and who is out at any given time. During the week I've noticed that all the men have surreptiously booked Friday afternoon off.......seems they are all going racing leaving Jane and I in the office (again).

Nice to feel part of a team isn't it

[JenBKR]

Well isn't that nice of them.....go and erase a couple of their names and put yours and Jane's in instead

[Cataholic]

I am against the whole dry erase board....the last thing I want is ALL the people in the office knowing what I am doing, or not doing!

Just this am, I had a VM from a client, "Hey, I hear you won't be in until 1030a, call me....".

I called him at 905a, he said, "Oh, what are you doing in, ahead of schedule?"

LOL. Even when people THINK they know what I am doing, they don't.

I do feel your pain. Years ago, Wednesday afternoons was always, 'out of office'. Yeah, all 3 male partners? Like I didn't know what was going on? LOL

[Freedom]

Oh come on, Joanna, Wednesday afternoons has meant "golf" in the legal world for ever and a day! It's just that the golf games got more competitive as women started graduating law school!

[moosmom]

Right on Freedom! Sorry to say it, but it looks like a case of the "Good Ole Boys Club" that unfortunately, doesn't include you. That just plain sucks.

[Catty1]

Well, it's time for you and Jane to find a really great blow-out sale at a local mall every Friday!!! What are the guys gonna come back with?

[Edwina's Secretary]

More creativity needed here. Wait until you know a very big project is due. Preferably on a Friday. Then the two of you schedule off. Or if you have clients who come to the office....wait until a visit is planned. Then at the last minute schedule off. Leave a list of instruction as if they were school children.

I had a boss once. I was the only woman on the team. He would ask me to do the "girlie" stuff. One day he asked me to make his tea. Who knew you are to use HOT water in making tea???

[Catty1]

Who knew you are to use HOT water in making tea???

LOLOL! THAT'LL teach him!

yet I was introduced to "work experience boy" as the most important person in the office - was all I could do not to laugh out loud

[wombat2u2004]

On their honeymoon the new husband said to his bride, "I have a confession
that I should have made before, but I was concerned that it might affect
our relationship."
"What is it?" she asked.
"I'm a golfer," he said.
"What's the big deal about that?" she asked.
He replied, "When I say I'm a golfer, I mean that I'll be on the golf
course Saturday, Sunday, Wednesday afternoon, and any holidays. If it
comes to a choice between your wishes and golf, golf wins."
She pondered a moment and said, "I thank you for your honesty. In the same
spirit of honesty, I should tell you that I've concealed something about
my own past that you should know about..... "I'm a hooker."
"No problem," was his response, "just narrow your stance a little and
overlap your grip, swing through the ball, and that should clear it right
up."

"I'm a hooker."
"No problem," was his response, "... that should clear it right up."

Oh, Womby ...

[Pawsitive Thinking]

Apparently, they are all taking holiday so it's not a "boys jolly-up"

However, Jane and I have both just been given £20 each from the boss - what price a guilty conscience eh

[Cataholic]

Yet again, Wom pulls off another fab joke!

Now now BM.....you wouldn't have got that 20 quid if not for the actions of the boys....yes ????
So I feel it's only fair that you should share it with them !!!!!
