Dear Ann Landers,
am personnel director of a large com-pany. We are proud of our plant, our superior equipment, and the benefits we provide for our employees. Yet every day at least one woman comes into my office and cries all over the upholstered furniture. A female who accepts the challenge of the business world should expect criticism, competition, and personality conflicts. She asked for the whole package when she left her comfortable home and went out after that pay-check. I'd like to buy a full-page ad in every newspaper in the country and say, "women who work-grow up. Men can-not respect a woman who blubbers like a four-year-old when 102 things go wrong." I must sign off now. Here comes another one.-Damp Furniture

Dear Damp Furniture,
All right, girls, turn off the water-works, you're ruining the personnel director's shoeshine. And you, sir, keep those paper tissues handy because the gals are going to keep right on bawling.

Our Reader to Reader Question of the Week:


Dear Readers,
, whatever they needed I provided. What really hurt my son and I the most was the obituary - we were not mentioned at all. Our friends (mine and hers) were appalled. I was embarrassed and upset for not just me, but for my son-who loved her also. I never been so upset. Her x-husband put his wife and kids and their grandchildren in the obituary, who my girlfriend barely knew. They live an hour away from us. I know its silly to be mad over a little section of the newspaper, but it still hurts. Will time let this devastating loss of her and this article ever go away? I am so angry at this whole situation, its not like we can go and rewrite an obituary notice.

Tell us what you think?
