This working week, the longest this year so far, five whole days and all of them spent at the office.

My nomination for the chairmanship is approved by delegates from many states and I´m happy! This will be an exciting year for me. No woman have had this chair before and still we are in 2012 now! I feel that I have to do this for all women. To show that we can also! And my male collegues call me their "chairlady". It´s ok. The only thing I asked in return is that I want them to all rise when I enter the room, just like my soldiers did in the Forces! It was a joke of course, but still...why not?

I read a magazine in the middle of the week. An article told us that British Airways have recommended businessmen and businesswomen what to pack in their suitcases for a ten days businesstrip. Here it is:

The Business Man
Hygiene articles as hairwax, shaver, toothbrush and deo
Ten pairs of underwear
Ten pairs of socks
A pair of jeans
Three suits (two business and one casual)
Two pairs of shoes
Three shirts (wash up at the hotel)
Three ties
A jacket
A pyjama
A photo showing your wife in your inner pocket
A blow upp pillow

The Business Woman
Hygiene articles as toothbrush, hairbrush, lipstick, powder, deo and mascara
Ten pairs of stockings
A pair of jeans (for a Friday drink)
A skirt (for a better job dinner)
Three suits
A pair of low heels and a pair of high heels (for job/ party)
Two shirts (wash up at the hotel)
Three tops (wash up at the hotel)
A nightgown
A jacket
A blow up pillow

So, what do we learn?
A man is supposed to have a photo of his wife and a woman is supposed to have drinks and party!
Why this difference?
Do you understand it?
