day 347

I am so angry! At my work at the moment I am researching and looking to buy a playground. I have rung people, enquired, got quotes and arranged meetings. So today a man turns up for a meeting with me. He introduced himself to me and Cav and then proceeded to address the entire consultation at Cav. He did not talk to me at all unless I asked a direct question. At the end Cav asked him if he had my email address and he said no dismissively and asked for CAVS email address! I swear if I hadnt stuck my hand out as he was leaving he wouldnt have shaken my hand either. I dont know if he treated me like this because I am 18 or because I am a woman but the charming combination of both seems to make people think that I am incompetent. If it is my age, at what age do I start being listened to? If it is the fact that I am a woman, do I just remain unheard for the rest of my life because I lack the right equipment for this phallocentric society?
