As a matter of fact, I've never recognized any symptoms of Menstrual or Post-Menstrual Syndrome either. That's not to say that the women I've worked with never got cranky or irritable--they got just as cranky as the men I've worked with--but I'm reluctant to ascribe this behavior to PMS. Has anyone really worked with a woman whose job performance suffered so noticeably when she was about to have her period? Somehow, I doubt it. I think the notion of "PMS and Incompetence" is absurd. -- Bob Kaplan "No gift is too great for my people."
