No, but i have 4 years of tae-kwan-do under my belt... I like boxing cos i'm better with my arms, than with my legs. And yes i'm the kind of person who uses the objects around her to create havoc... LOL. People often say they are scared of me... but really i'm quite shy. I just have a temper.. I don't lash out as much as i used too though. I try and channel the energy into other physical activities... one's that don't result in bloody knuckles [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by Matchova from Wednesday, March 11, 2009 7:03:18 PM)

Yeah, best not to feed into the "ego". Reason i left my last job i because my good, kind, decent (actually knew how to be a manger) changed stores.

BUT as soon as he started being a prick i either: 1. went off at him usually resulting in me being sent out the back to "cool off" OR 2. I would just walk out and leave ( Good manager understood that if i stayed in the shop with him i would have become violent, which wasn't good when the customers could hear me)
I have a temper, which when set off is not a good thing..... This is why i have a boxing bag at home

I have a low bullshit tolerance threshold too, but what I ended up doing in this situation was completely ignoring the men that did that stuff to me. The reason I did that is if I had still pandered to them and talked to them, it would have fed their already giant egos. So I just acted like they didn't even exist or mean shit to me, lol.

I have two words for ya Becks...... F*CK THAT! I am somewhat of a fem in that respect, there is no reason why a woman should be treated differently in the workplace... In saying that, i'm the kind of person who doesn't take shit from anyone.

Unfortunately, no I didn't report it. In the case of the people we were doing inspections on - no one I could report it to. In the case of getting ignored - I just ignored them back. I probably should have reported that stuff, but the city I was working in was one giant old boys club *sigh*
