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. :-)

Whew... it's a good thing women aren't naturally competitive, or anything... :-)

...and Men are supposed to be the competitive one... nope. We got nuthin' on the ladies. :-)
