Murdoch sending in the bitches to attack Rishi's good news

One of the key facts that Nicola Sturgeon has a problem with is that lack of a Y chromosome causes a preponderance of rods over cones in the retina and finer grained muscle cells

What this means is women see better in tbe dark, at the inevitable cost of 3D spatial and colour variations which is what the cone cells do

In addition women are inevitably gifted with finer de xterity and muscle control.

As a biologist in training I found out the hard way when told to sit in an ill-illuminated room, glance down the microscope at a stained slide showing some tissue stained to show contrast, and draw what you see.

Fact is few men can rival women doing this. I got the job done but it was nothing compared to what the two girls either side of me achieved. They could actually see detail I could not. They showed me this by putting the specimen under a different microscope and projecting the image

I have on several occasions been handed the task of finding something useful for women to do for the company I worked for. I don’t understand the problem the people handing me this task had.

I remember one such individual who had come to us from the polytechnic where she was a computer operator. She had for some unfathomable reason been put on a path to programming which frankly she hated. I took her to a navy base and was massively impressed with the way she dealt with the customers. While she worked for me, I had her go off to wherever someone reported a problem, and ‘not come back until they had explained to her in gruesome detail just what they had done.’

I frankly didn’t care if to get that she had to sit on the admirals lap and wiggle his joystick.

Fact is she enjoyed the offsite work and the information gathering and while the navy often whinged at something not working, not once did they whinge at my way of getting to the bottom of why.

I genuinely don’t understand how my fellow managers and particularly those above me could not see this.

I understand that when Ferranti went bust Trisha went off and got married to a rock musician. !

Two other examples were women who joined Welsh water from rather stranger places, who once again got assigned to work on my team.

I taught both of them how to go about being database designers and developers.

I recall a few months after that a massive system failure was caused by a fatal flaw in a piece of code I thank god was out in place by a fool nothing to do with us.

I wondered what some of my former teachers actually got out of the job.

Until I was sitting in a meeting with a couple of others, a project manager who thank ***k shared my attitude and the two I’d trained up

Out of nowhere Rhiannon piped up ‘we can fix this, what we need fo is …….’ and for the next five minutes we just tried not to look too open mouthed.

She was right, too. She did fix it.

Then I understood what teachers see in their jobs and what makes them keep going. Knowing ‘I did that’.

Cheers
