    Great comic, It blends the humour into the issue well. Keep on keeping on!

    I love it :)
    Great post Maya, it definitely hits the nerve of the accepted sexism in Lebanon (and middle east)
    I always found it sad, pathetic, and degrading when i read job ads that include gender, age preference, and looks preferences! (eg: we’re looking for a female receptionist between the age of 18 – 28…) that’s so sexist! I would hate my sister to work in such environment!

    “we’ll have to create a new “sub-top-manager position just for you” hehehehe… still managed to add humour! i love it :)

    Oh, I bought that magazine last night and saw that there is a “woman shaping the economy” article but I didn’t get a chance to read it yet. I skipped through the comics in the post so I can see them in the magazine later today!

    I hope you feel better maya!

    I’m lucky to work in communication arts where there are plenty of dynamic, professional women in the positions they deserve. I guess it’s an exception.

    It’s my experience that most women handle stress in the workplace better than men, and can handle more tasks at a time.

    I like the panic button on that desk ;)

    Hello Maya,

    I had the chance last week to learn about your blog, and been enjoying
    the quite interesting “stories” : )
    Looking forward to your new (signed) book! Until then, hope you
    get well soon.

    Hey Maya!

    I work in an advertising company where most junior staff are women and all senior staff are men – it would be interesting to see how the interpersonal dynamics would change if the situation were the other way around :)

    Loved the “weekly grooming” bit! :D

    Hey we saw this together while I was at your place!
    I’m glad I didn’t catch your amygdalitis :P
    Get well soon! xoxo
