Quote of the week.

(Yeah, i know I promised more on binding and loosing - it's coming but I've been too busy to write it. In the meantime, here's this....)

I work in a civil engineering office. Most of our work revolves around plans, maps, etc. The team I am part of specialises in hydraulics, working out water levels and flows in various channels through sewage treatment plants. Our latest project involves visits to about thirty sites around our region, and these visits are to be distributed among the team members. Normally work is shared out by the team leader. She is a chartered engineer, an expert in the field. She excels at the technical aspects but is also a good manager. But when it comes to sharing out these sites geographically between the team members, she says “I don’t do maps; I’m a woman” and walks away.
