hehhehe... not needed anymore. She got hers. I outlasted her. I heard from the old CEO some years later that when the boss left, she left specific instructions with the CEO that the ice queen was not authorized to fire me.

Love that woman. :-)

I don't know if she has any idea how far I've come in this company since then, because it would gnaw at her like leprosy. Hope so. :-)

Me too. Hope so, I mean.

When I first went to work in design (as opposed to regular detail drafter) within 2 months my supervisor quit and a stereotypical feminazi-career woman was hired as our new supervisor. She tried for 2 or 3 years to get me fired because I wouldn't go in for all her feminist crap. Eventually she had a lateral move into something else which cleared the way for a decent supersisor for us. Long about 3 years after that... she ended up getting stuck on a team with me as project manager. BWAAAHAHAHAHA!!!!

I never had any trouble with her after that. She has always treated me with respect since then. But, I didn't try for any retribution or anything. Just expected her to do her work on the projects that I led.

She called me about 4 years ago. Tracked me to the job I had before this one. Wanted to know if she could use me as a reference on her resume. She's still stuck in that same job she moved laterally to in '92, while I've been written up in national trade magazines twice for designs I worked on and got awarded first runner up for Texas woman of the year in technology. I have felt vindicated... without doing anything. She knows who the best designer is. :-)
