Quotes edit see section history

  • ““Well I had the perfect job, perfect house and perfect family and I didn’t know it. I kept striving for more. All tasks had to be done 15 times to avoid mistakes I became a little obsessive. I threw myself into my career as a librarian as the kids were getting ready to go to university. I only got paid for a 35 hour week but I worked a 50 hour week. I even brought work home to double check it but I was the first female head of IT in an academic librarian, a mostly male domain. I had more to prove being female that I could be career orientated and I would not ring in sick if I was needed to look after the kids. I disciplined my subordinates severely and slated their work to show I could be as big a bitch as any man. Nobody made it easy for me as a woman to get to the top and I wasn’t going to help another female to advance her career either. I did not care whose toes I stood on to get to the top”.”
    Angelina
  • ““Anger then took over hysteria and they went on a campaign of tearing all wedding photographs, his legal documents, his sports awards, his scrap book of media clippings, his bank cards, driving license, anything belonging to him. Felicity then rang their bank manager, now brave with a few brandies inside her and closed all their bank accounts and cancelled all their cards. Anger made her feel empowered and feel less of a victim at least she could control this feeling and it was a form of release. The following day she visited the credit union and post office and closed their savings accounts and set up a new branch account in a different bank in her maiden name. Next she rang the estate agents and put the manor up for sale. The revenge continued for the week and she put an advertisement on the local paper and sold James’ sports car, his coupe for half its retail value just to annoy him. She then rang the newspaper and put a false death notice, footballer killed by his own hand in the paper”.”
    Felicity
  • ““Ava was blessed with amazing beauty but was academically challenged. Angelina tried to give her a quick introduction to computers but was horrified at Ava’s lack of knowledge and complete failure to understand. Ava called the CD drawer the cup holder and honestly thought it was her holding her coffee or drink when typing. She thought the monitor was the telly and the mouse was the roller. She kept exiting programmes instead of closing documents and kept deleting items and forgetting to save things. Things happened Angelina’s computers that never happened before: programs failed to respond and the computer kept crashing. She typed e-mails and then printed them and put them in an envelope to post them, Angelina was speechless. She even killed a machine by constant abuse for the week. It just died the screen went blank and a message came up of fundamental hard drive failure, the monitor went black and the keyboard and mouse went dead and could not be restored. It went to the computer scrap yard, RIP. Angelina ran her out of the IT dept in their firm terrified she’d cause any more mayhem. She was the absolute blonde bombshell when it came to computers”.”
    Ava
  • ““Duties were allocated and their meeting was adjourned until after the second honey trap by Ava. Angelina and Felicity would stay at base HQ and download data and run the company and thoroughly go through all accounts retrieved from the husband’s computers. It would be put into separate files for each husband, heavily encrypted and stored on a remote hard drive and a back up made daily on the company server. All figures would be inputted into excel spreadsheets and final figures would determine of each mans financial worth”.”
    Angelina
  • ““As planned The Three Wise Women meet at 3WW HQ for debriefing. Angelina extracted the small camera from her lapel and downloaded it onto a laptop. She then expertly digitally scanned the Polaroid into her electronic file on James. Ava had just missed Sean who had given his camcorder and photographs of himself and Patrick to Angelina. It had been digitally downloaded and formatted onto Patrick’s pc file. A back-up of all data was done on the Company server but it was heavily encrypted and written in Angelina’s own program Borrow and used her own software Gotya, so only the very best could break her code and that would take months”.”
