: Working girl woes :
It's been a trying few days since my last post, mostly work stuff. I had a run-in with one of the vice presidents who called me on Sunday and chewed me out when she really didn't have any right to. It's a bit of a long story, and not terribly interesting. It seems that I get along with my male VPs and SVPs much better than the female VPs or women at my level. I guess it's a territorial thing - men don't see me as a threat, but women do (I suppose because of the notion that there's only room for a certain number of women at the top). So I'm going to be more careful around some of the women around here, because I'm sure some of them wouldn't hesitate to stab me in the back if I let them get too close to me.
I had a major screw up today by leaving my rail passes and building ID in my car this morning. Luckily, the train conductor let me stay on without having to buy a ticket - I guess he remembers my face since I ride it every morning. I had to buy a new subway ticket and apply for a visitor pass at my building though. Another lesson learned, I suppose.
I've been eating these terrific Thai lunches from a company called New England Herbal Foods that I found at Costco. The best part is that they don't have to be refrigerated or frozen, so I can load up a bunch of them in my office and eat them for lunch without having to use the icebox. They taste surprisingly good, and it's made from all natural ingredients with no preservatives. I just wish each portion was larger, because I could eat two of them easily for lunch.
I guess this weekend I'll be going to the DMV again to transfer my title and register my minivan, Yoshi (because he's green and a Honda). I'm also still waiting on my university diplomas which I ordered back in April - I called them today and I'm continuing to get the runaround. And, I have to fax my info to Southwest Airlines, because they lost the letter I'd sent them last month that included my court order and request to change the name on my Rapid Rewards account. It's just a neverending battle to get all this stuff done.
