    Would it be ok to text my manager and tell her, or maybe call her?
    she was the one that told me my new manager was asking about why I didnt work as fast as the other 2 in my team and gave her the facts. She is backing me up 100% but I dont want them to think I am taking the michael.

    I think you should call her and be 100% honest with her. Things get misconstrued in a txt and you can only get so much across....

    who cares if they think you are taking the michael, as long as you know the facts it doesn't matter a fig what the others think...

    I don't spend £110 a year on underwear let alone one bra :eek: They don't do anything in my "substantial scaffolding required" size on there.........and £35 for a pair of stockings!!!!! I'd want them spun from golden silk worms for that much.

    Can't beat good old asda smart price pants :D

    Sounds as tho living with a woman is a lot easier then! At least there's no specific role to play...
    YOUR = belonging to you (your coat); YOU'RE = you are (I hope you're ok)

    really....it's not hard to understand :T

    That's out of order. Sexual discrimination....I'd ask for it in writing that you're supposed to wear makeup in the office then have them for it....outrageous!

    I buy asda cheap sports bras (£4 genius) but I love expensive underwear - its about the feel of real good quality silk on your skin - honestly even if you look rubbish that day it makes you walk sexy - its like sexy shoes for other women (which I cant wear often as they mess with my running) :D

    Hugs Bun. What a terrible situation. I agree you need to speak to the doc. My opinion on this issue is quite well known I think. Life's way too short for work to make you so miserable both at work and at home. Look for something to keep you going till your other job comes through.

    You do need to make sure you keep a full record of everything thats said, including date, time etc with evidence and witness statements if possible ;)
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:
