Already Tuesday

It's been a tough couple of days. I am here to complete the last week of a three week implentation. I did not do the first two weeks- a golden boy in our group was here. And guess what. He did everything. Wrong.

So, I had to strip out all of his work and start from scratch. He also failed to train the client - so I am trying to fit 3 weeks of work into one week - again.

I am not a member of the National Organization for Women, and I am pro-life, and I think that if a mom can stay home with the kids, that's the best thing possible for the children - much better than daycare or just letting the guvmint take over all our childcare tasks.

However, the technical field is full of men. It is an old boy network. Everywhere. No one can convince me that there is a technical company in the entire universe that treats women on an equal basis with men.

Men expect us to clean up their fricking messes in this business - and they except you to not rat them out to the bosses as to who is really doing the work.

Sorry - I'm just pissed. I'm really pissed. I am more billable than anyone else in our group - but an award goes to golden boy because he worked harder than he used to work (that's the reasoning I was given). So WTF. Why should I work my ass off when I'm not going to get awarded more than a couple of movie tickets.

harumph.
