And in case anyone is curious, Time Warner Cable has been testing their own PVR and is due to release them in Q1 of 2003. Maybe its just Comcase being paranoid.
I know where you are coming from. I have dealt with inept project managers in the past. There really isnt much you can do, unless your project manager will listen to you and your suggestions. And that is a 50/50 shot at best. The only thing you may be able to do, depending on your corporate environment is talk to the project manager's superior and see if they can help. If that is not an option, the project team can appoint a "shadow" project manager that does understand how things get done and have the "shadow" try to work with the real project manager. Its just a thought. All else fails, do what most of us do, grin and bear it.
Its not so much as there not being as many female techs/geeks as men, but having today's corporate environment accept the female techs they have now. I have been in the trenches for over 10 years now and regretably have a chip on my shoulder about being a female tech/geek in a almost all male tech/geek world. Because I am a woman, my opinions, decison making abilities, programming skills and infrastructure skills are always called into question. However, if a male counterpart offers anything, his skills and opinions are immediately heard. I know its not like this everywhere and I know that sometimes I am at fault for my mistakes (which I ALWAYS willl acknowledge and then fix), but I also know that women techs/geeks needs to be treated fairly.
