I have a serious problem. I have remained single and childless and so feel like most of the time I have more energy and I have more time to get things done etc. Though I make specific provisions for this as well by trying not to over extend myself.

But lately, I am incurring the dislike of many men because, I am JUST BETTER at stuff than they are.

I mean... the men make their choices to slack off, but, then when I wipe the floor with them, they get upset.

For instance.
- My boss. Now my boss is a good guy but he can't remember anything. When I remember things and do things right he gets upset with me like a child. I think deep down because he knows I am better at his job than he is. And it bothers and scares him. Often times he will say, but you didn't tell me, and then I forward the e-mail to him and I have to say something like "I guess you didn't see this" or make excuses because -were I just to point out that I am on top of things and he isn't... well that would be kicking the bee's nest. But deep down he knows.

- I am on a condo board and I find all the men on the board to be problems.

a. we will call him the idiot. The idiot has some good points but mostly he knows nothing about anything. He doesn't know what is necessary for the condo and doesn't bother to even look at the law. So when people ask me things and I know the answer and literally quote the law, he ignores it in favor or saying things like "well, I think" no one cares what you think!! But he dislikes me at heart because he knows I am better at this than he is.

b. the other one, we will call Mr. Prissy Pants, is a complete fool. i have no idea how he survives in this world. He comes up with the most stupid ideas and when I debunk them he clearly resents it. Before I suggest ANYTHING, I always research it first.. not so here... if he has a thought, he suggests it no matter how foolish.

The idiot, Mr. Prissy Pants, and my boss also refuse to do work. They are over deadline on sooo many things. They all don't seem to get motivated until the last second and do just enough to mark it done.

c. My property manger. My property manager is a fool. When I first started working for him he said "let me know if you have questions". I get the feeling he desperately wants to be helpful but the problem is that he just isn't. He recently came to us with a new insurance quote. It was cheaper than the other. But I took one look and saw that it was because the deductible was higher. I asked him if we had raised the deductible and he said we had... he was wrong. I called up the insurance and we hadn't.

Frankly if I really wanted to make a big deal out of it this is a firing offense. He seemed to be trying to mislead the board.

But I could tell he was completely emasculated by me knowing MY STUFF and pointing out just how wrong he was. Now he just sulks and is passive aggressive when we ask him to do things.

Why don't women have this issue? I don't know. I think it is that women don't care if your better than them. They are happy to have you. But men have been trained for eons that their mind is "superior" and they don't like it when they can't perform as well as you. Finally each of these men are married to women that are "passive" and I get the feeling that they hide any brilliance they might have so they can plump up their husbands.

I am at the point in my life where I have zero F***s to give and just don't want to hide my talent any longer.

Sounds like a stressful work environment.
