Well, I could certainly write extensively on each point. However, I must say, that I strongly identify, on a personal level, with the point that middle aged women tend to be fussy and mean tempered. This is for several reasons: 1. Most foremen are much dumber than the middle aged women they supervise. As a young women, I kept waiting for these assholes to get a little smarter, as a middle aged women I realize it ain't never going to happen, so I just want them to shut the fuck up, get out of my face, and let me do my job. 2. Middle aged women are going through menopause. Their estrogen levels are decreasing, and their testosterone levels increase in proportion to their estrogen -- this causes hot flashes. Imagine your personal body temperature going through huge fluctuations as much as 4 times an hour throughout any given day. The foremen these women work for a fucking lucky to be alive at the end of the day. Remember, testosterone is the earth's first deadly drug. In fact, I think middle aged women should be allowed to get away with murdering their foremen -- after all, flashes could be considered chemically induced instants of sanity. your favorite middle aged broad -- maggie coleman [EMAIL PROTECTED]
