Some work rantings:
I've just taken part in a 2-day meeting where the Sales Director flew in some of the senior sales people to the head office to participate. The meetings were a complete farce - it was a cover-up to get these people into this city for the Xmas party we had last night. I presented on the second day, and spent a whole working day compiling the background information and stressing out about my presentation, as I have only been in the company a short while, and the hand-over was absolute crap. The good thing to come out of it was that my meeting was chockers with the senior managers who could really give my career a lift - although I am on a contract atm, I think I am being scoped out for a permanent role.
I have figured out 'The Most Sexist/Misogynistic Employee' in this company. This is the guy everyone gets warned about when they join the company (I wonder if he knows that???). He swears constantly, plays the boys club game, and constantly, constantly comments on the women and tells them what to do. He tried it on me during the meeting, when I was working on my laptop during a break because I said "Crap" under my breath at the program I was working on.
Him: "Don't say crap to your computer screen"
Me: "What? Have you got the ears of a rabbit or something?" 
Him: "Just don't say crap to your computer, it might have feelings"
Me: "Its.an.inanimate.object. It.doesn't.have.feelings."
Him: "Just don't do it. It could have feelings."
Me (reiterates more strongly): "Its.An.Inanimate.Object."
I hope I left him with a lasting impression of . He didn't try to challenge me again for the rest of the meeting.
Lastly, I went to company Xmas party last night, just for a few hours. There was 'entertainment', and it was predictably sexist. The first act was a couple of female contortionists, using predictably titillating sexual poses to delight and arouse the men . It was like being transported back to the corporate 1980's, where shit like this went down all the time. At one stage I said to a colleague "How is this even permissible in this day and age???" She just smiled and shook her head knowingly. Later on in the evening there was a male performer whose act of course had nothing sexual about it. I could only stand a few hours of this, as it started very early in the evening, with only canapes for food, and a shitload of alcohol. I was at home and in bed by 10pm 
. When people ask me how I am enjoying my time at the company, I just smile and nod.
