Seven Sharp's piece on women in the top tiers of power

[oneofsix]

I'm having a cuppa and ciggie in my garage, looking out the door at the nice countryside in the sun. It's horrible

bloody right its horrible - smoking inside your place of work

[ducatilover]

Yeah yeah ... rub it in why don't ya ... but it can be a very broke lifestyle too .. so polishing the bike becomes the only thng you can afford to do to it ..

Money is over rated, being a happy fella is worth it

bloody right its horrible - smoking inside your place of work

Catching fire is exciting

[Banditbandit]

Money is over rated,

THis is true ...

being a happy fella is worth it

being able to afford to eat, to have a warm place to sleep and to have a bike to ride and able to put petrol in it does require a modicum of money ... Now I'm not one for multi-million dollar places to eat sleep and fuck ... or expensive Eye-talian bikes ... or expensive Harley road lice ... but some money does make it easier to be happy

I can turn around and admire all the polishing work I'm doing too... and my two bikes.

Cunt... I'm sitting looking at Visual Studio. I know where I'd rather be and what I'd like to be polishing

Got that all relatively under control 'cept them eye-talian things, one day though.

Well Mr Altruism - I suggest that the VAST majority of the world's population would rather be doing that than what they are doing right now.

Watched parts of it again last night for secong time, that Bob Jones bit? he had a few points, Ms Mau was none to pleased with some of his business beliefs, that was obvious.
They need to dump that twit Mulligan, replace him with Lana Cocroft or Nadine Charmer Ross.

THe vast majority of the world's population is probably in bed ... (or wherever they happen to fuck and sleep)

[HenryDorsetCase]

what the fuck are you on about. you watch TV and think you have an opinion of your own?

prime example of why women shouldn't be allowed to vote.

((no seriously, NZ has been all fucking downhill since we "progressively" allowed women to decide shit. it's a fucking dumb idea. politics wasn't designed for your benefit it was made by men, for men, GTFO of it. bleeding out the crotch is not a valid excuse for your tomfuckery. which fucking bitch decided 15. yes, say it. FIFTEEN was a good age for CONSENSUAL SEX. tell you fucken whut, i'll be putting foot up 15 year old a55 if they think they're gonna carry on with that crap.))

Do we have a candidate for "post of the year"? I think we just might!

[HenryDorsetCase]

Don't watch TV, but this shlock journo act seems to have provoked the response it was intended to.




I played the game a long time ago. Marketing manager large corporation.

They'd (management) have a 'team bonding session'; get drunk, complain endlessly about their wife - even call her 'the enemy' or similar then they expose their penis on the bus coming home maggoted from the private box at the football stadium.

Next day it's laughed about as great hijinx. That's why they don't like women around. Cramps their 'style'.

The Journo is right about one thing probably. 'No. You're fucking morons when you are drunk' accounted for my career there.

Not playing the bonding game only harms your career in cultures that are toxic to begin with. She's better off out of them.

one of the reasons I will never be a rich lawyer at a big firm because that sort of culture is endemic there (as are 80+ hour work weeks, black humour, depression and suicide). Not only internal to the firm but also expected to be external schmoozing those pricks so they will continue to send work your way. Fuck everything about that.

One of the really good things about the GFC for me (apart from the two thirds income reduction - that kind of sucked) was that I could cruise in when I felt like it, leave at 5pm, do things like go to the gym, and generally have a hell of a lot less stress in my life. I am happier, my domestic circumstances are way happier, and in every way my life is measurably better. Now that we are busy again, and looking like staying that way for a bit, I am consciously thinking about all that shit, and to a certain extent picking and choosing the work I want. I turned down two jobs last year because I knew that we didnt have the ability to do them in a timeframe that I would be happy with.

Too long: the lesson is work to live, dont live to work.

If I have any energy left after mine, erm, nah, who am I kidding that I'd have energy left, it's tiring enough having to wash the thing

Why does it not surprise me you like blokes

That's rich coming from a cunt that owns a Honduh. Sorry to disappoint but I think about vaginas at least 267 times a day, minimum.

More to the point, how do people manage office work? I'd go fookin' mad being stuck in an office

Used to think that too. However an office is just a room connected to other rooms in which you do your stuff. There are other people around to mingle with. If you are busy then your work occupies your mind in high gear and you don't take any notice of where you are.

Besides guys like us know the road is out there.

Much as I love the outdoors there have been many many days over the past 30 years when I've glanced at the wind and rain outside or the white frost everywhere and been glad to work in an office (old-school decrepit that it was).
