The Meeting if i haven't complained to you already, i have a meeting every monday afternoon and it's super boring. we were waiting around before the meeting and having a seemingly innocent conversation. femalecolleague (also my supervisor): maybe the research of the structure is difficult i don't know...(trying to put across her point that the research topic of the public lecture she attended was very very boring) malecolleague: nono. nothing is difficult. *very firm look* tell me, what can be so difficult? preoccupiedmalecolleague: *very immediately* women. *continues sorting out paper* everyone else in the room: *nervous laughter* (havent been in a maledominated environment for a loooong time. total number of females in this department: 3) meeting delayed for an hour. i had a bar of chocolate and i feel sick in the stomach. im so deserving. p/s: essencia - dodgy drink with catechins.
