OK so I hang my head because I cursed so many things specially the word "Freedom".. A Little update on my Friend if anyone might be interested: She and her guy are married, and absconding because court is so damn slow, while a case is still on my friends "husband", which is registered by her parents (kidnapping?? i doubt but its possible...) . I know the truth, Everything is fine.Don't know the details because I might be in trouble, if i do. So that's it. Happy ending and a "flight of freedom.."

Which brings me to the next set of absurdities I see. At work I have under me three people who are more experienced and older, only that they are my subordinates and worse still MEN. A typical situation I face is that, I earn more than ALL the ladies in the company. If you don't understand my situation, I was already the most hated person on the day that i joined. SO while every one else concentrates on their performance, I had to concentrate on keeping everyone ego cool.... What could be worse, Once i was being reprimanded by my boss, in front of my subordinates, for not in-subordinating them enough, and that turned out to be the worse, I had ever seen personally in my life. During the course of a discussion, The retort I got after seeing my temper flare was: I am sorry because you are going to cry!!

So my male subordinate thinks its OK for him to apologise because I am a female but he would not accept his fault... I was not going to cry and neither was I going to let him off. The issue was resolved. I have come to terms with the work place and we are all friends now when we are not working. But I can never forget that day.

It only shows that we have to keep proving ourselves, I don't know Wat it is for men, but even when male friends talk (even to me) their position is that "my female boss knows nothing..." So it looks like its never going to end. Every day We have to prove our selves so that we can be accepted. As daughters, wives, mothers, sisters, team leaders or team members, its never going to be easy or is it ever going to stop. And so we hang in and hang on... now and forever...No one said being an independent person was easy, an independent girl by way far more difficult!!..
