Real world soap opera

My short stint in the corporate world opened my eyes to the members of my sex. I've never had very close women friends for some reason (perhaps my football mania has something to do with it) so I was a little unsure of how I would click with my female colleagues at work. I was right about my instincts but even in my wildest dreams i couldnt imagine what i saw. The corporate world is a world of bitches. Yes. That's the only word to describe the entities who work there. To begin with take my ex boss. She was extremely sweet when we talked. So sweet- I feared I'd get diabetes very soon. But behind our backs she was mean. She walked in to work at 10 and left by four but gave us long lectures when we refused to come at 5 in the morning or stay till eleven. There was another colleague who was sleeping with the vice president but displayed her lovey dovey family pictures all over her desk and kept gushing about her husband during lunch!
Most of the girls could be very nice and friendly but wouldnt hesitate to tattle to the boss behind your back. The amount of venom in those females really shocked me. Never watched a hindi soap opera but i believe the scheming bitches shown there are drawn from reality. The samples i saw were definitely vicious and mean.
However, there were exceptions but they were the odd ones and never survived. Like yours truly. I'm still running.
