Why women don't rule the world...

Below is something that happened to me at the American Women's Club recently...

A--Committee Chair
B--Co-Committee Chair
C--Treasurer

Emily writes to A, B, and C asking for someone to e-mail a new member back with some information. Emily sends the e-mail to all three people because she is not quite sure who has the information. A responds to everyone that she has replied to the new member. B writes to everyone thanking A for responding. C writes to everyone apologizing that she had not written back sooner, but thanks A for responding. A writes to Emily separately to apologize for the shortness of her first e-mail with the explanation that she would have normally not been so curt, but her kids were waiting for the computer. Emily is just glad to get the problem solved, but is beginning to understand why women don't yet rule the world!
