A sequel to the 2-minute judge.

A funny looking pig I made for the hubby.

The 2-minute judge’s latest remark is abt how he hates his Onsite coordinator for 2 reasons, one, that she is a woman (what a jerk!); two, she is younger to him and yet in a higher position of authority. I dunno if this guy even knows a thing abt the company hierarchy. People at Onsite are no higher in terms of authority than folks at offshore. We are merely Onsite counterparts of the offshore team. It’s a different matter that we assign work since we are directly dealing with the client and wud take the heat if something went wrong.Please! Give me a break…As much as I am tempted to put up the below post on our company blog,I have decided its not worth the trouble it wud cause my friends and neither is the loser worth it. For one, he does not read blogs, and even if he does, I don’t think he is going to have a life changing moment of awareness and change his opinions. He might be a tad abashed but being the unreasonable man he has proved himself to be, he is only going to blame the people involved. Thinking in terms of the rewards and losses, as my hubby rightly put it, neither is a company big shot going to take any action without investigating the people involved and I wud have to reveal my sources which am most definitely not willing to.

There are many men out there who carry this kind of women-are-dung attitude with pride but I can’t blame them cos it has to have come from their upbringing. No man who has been properly brought up can ever be so prejudiced against women and make such outrageous statements. But even as my thoughts dwell on such scum, I cannot help but remember all those decent men who are very courteous, kind, sensible and man enuf to treat a woman as an equal. To all the women out there, please don’t make a sweeping statement about how all men are the same. They are not. Do not judge the entire gender based upon the unfair views of one silly little man or a few dumb men who don’t know any better. They are not worth our time. I keep calling the judge little man cos that’s how small he is. So what do we do abt such people? Well, personally, I believe that such men are busy puffing themselves up and tying to get some attention with their grand statements. Zoë’s first instinct was to smack the man right across his silly face and so was mine. But I believe that it wud hit the mark more if we refused to take him seriously and behaved as though his statements were the funniest thing we ever heard. What cud annoy a man more when he embarks on a lecture on what he considers a disgrace to the society and the people around him laugh their heads off? So if someone makes such a statement, instead of retorting, look at him with all the expressions that cud cross ur face when u meet a total weirdo. It helps if u practice in front of a mirror (and u are not allowed to practice with me in mind.No! Absolutely not!).

Or you can pretend that he just farted, sniff suspiciously a couple of times, and give him an incredulous disgusted look and hurry away. That shud atleast serve in keeping the guy occupied with worrying abt whether he stinks.:-)See…lots of surefire remedies. Besides life is too short. Why waste time on such bozos?
Finally, lets all put up our paws and cloven hooves (as only cows, cats and pigs can) and pray that we never have the misfortune of working with people like the Judge.

U hit the nail on the head. Now stop thinking about what he says. Not worth it!
