Lately, for some reason or another, there has been quite a few reports in our press about women and getting married and having children. Sure, I am a woman and I do think about getting married and having children. And, I know that there are many, many women out there who are more serious about this than I could ever be. And that is great. I mean, it all boils down to choice, right?

But, what I am sick off and plainly just cannot stand, is the doctrine that the every essence of being a woman is her ability to have children. I cannot believe how many times I have seen this line in the press and had conversations with people about this in the last 2 weeks!!
Freud would be having a field day if he was alive!! He would be so proud that people, time and time again, resign to believing that women are built around their uterus's!!

Continuing with Freud, I also had an online conversation with someone who actually believed that women (or revolutionary feminsts, as he called us) are fighting for their rights to wear pants. Forget the fact that we are fighting for a safe world free of violence against women, or equal work for equal pay. We just want to wear pants!! And the reason why we feel compelled to educate ourselves...the need to compensate for a missing appendage. And this guy did not study Psych, nor did he read about him. And beleive me, he does not read!!! What am i going on about? Do all men believe that their penis's are the center of the universe? Half the world's population then are suffering from a very serious bout of penis envy!

Why? Why? WHY?!

Where are all the rational men who have brains?

Seriously, does a woman who has one child have less essence than a woman with, say, 5 children? And a woman who has no children has the least amount of essence?

But let me backtrack...what is the essence of a woman? Boleh someone fill me in?

you know, the sound on the msn can get a wee bit irritating sometimes, must admit, when u r into work headlong & the last thing u need is someone buzzing you...kinda distrupts your trail of thought! but then again, it can be a breath of fresh air for one to get out of work n experience life's gifts! it has been a tiring day, someone nearly lost their wallet n started to cry - was concerned initially then she found her wallet due to her forgetfullness of where she placed it. had to refrain myself from literally squeezing myself out of the window.

i am a patient person, actually many say i hv patience like a bottomless pit...but i realised that these days, i dont have any patience in me. i get upset at the slightest provocation and hold my tongue so as not to lash out on others...testing my patience? hmmm...
or lack of it??

anyway, am planning to go home, hv a long shower n reflect on life..
meanwhile, work awaits!

this is for "First Time Lucky"...

yeah... got the message ... a good one on expressing your feelings as a confused person!!! but u will confuse others without assigning nicknames LA!!

Anyway, wanted to tell everyone something... I had my messenger on and was busy responding to Ms $ ... then i get a warning of my messenger being too loud!!! there goes a whole issue of tiny sounds being irritating to a certain group of people...

Arggghhhhh!!! I need my coffeeeeeeeeee....

i am supposed to be working...i have a pile of things sitting on the edge of my table waiting for my undivided attention. But, was so excited about trying this one out...my first blog you see. Want to write about anything and everything. But, for time's sake, will stick to one topic. And of all things...about my work.

Now, people constantly ask me what I do...and I try my very best to explain it to them. Most people pretend to understand...but my mother is a different story. She is still trying very hard to figure this out. And for the record the woman who had endured 7 hours of labour pain, albeit heavily sedated and screaming at the doctor to get me out, does not even know what my post is.

Why am I talking about my mother? Well, our head honcho of admin matters is on MC today...the rest of us are trying to keep the office running - without her effortless finesse. Anyway, she (my mother) gave me a call, and when she realised I was in the midst of some admin work, she said "Ah! Real work!"

Hmmmmm...I gave her a very sarcastic "Thanks mom!" which had earned me a scrumptious assam laksa (on her) for the implied affected emotions. I can't yet figure out what I am feeling, except amusement, which prompted me to write this...

I had to scurry off and take care os something, and I forgot the point of this! But, I supopse this was an excuse to write something. Oh, on some level I am surt and wanted to vent. I mean her response is like a garin of salt in the sea of other horrible remarks I have gotten regarding my work. The fact that my mother said it does not hurt me any more than the others. I expect things like this to come out of her mouth. And, strangely enough, I love her for it. But, I suppose I just wanted to vent.

And know what? I think I am hooked! I like this...and want to do more of it. Not because I can rant on and on without someone telling me to shut up. Although that is a damn great aspect of it! I have not written like this in a while, really. And it just feels good. Now just waiting on others to comment and let me know how I am doing.

Waiting...
