Actually it wasn't as bad as that...

She was an absolute bunny, and I'm not too bad myself ;) but it was
purely work-oriented. I was given to understand I was exceeding my
brief in attempting to tell a documenter how to present the material.
And as for drafting her an example: quite beyond the pale. Like
telling your chauffeur how to drive in heavy traffic.

The whole time I was in NJ, in all walks of life, I felt I was being
tricked into an elaborate game which had nothing to do with getting
the job done. How do these people think they're going to get to Mars,
or win a war in Afghanistan? I watched a program recently on BBC about
birds of paradise in New Guinea. I was mentally back in NJ and my
heart bled for the poor put-upon males.

Sorry... I don't expect -- or want -- any sympathy from most of the
readership on this list.
