X-13 Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 Absolutely, but we have to give the guys the impression that they're still in charge .... even if we know otherwise! Incorrect. @witch was referring to all of us Nerds/Geeks when she said "we". It doesn't matter if they're male or female, Nerds/Geeks run the world.
elsiegee40 Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 Right at the end on Saturday @witch and I were walking past a stand desperately trying to get rid of freebies (pen holders). The guy handing them out asked what I did. "Network Manager" I replied. He needs to learn that a surprised look in response is not a good marketing tool! (I resisted the urge to knee him somewhere painful)
X-13 Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 He needs to learn that a surprised look in response is not a good marketing tool! (I resisted the urge to knee him somewhere painful) I used to be a sexist like him... Then I took a knee to the groin. [i didn't really.]
Butters Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 I used to be a sexist like him... Then I took a knee to the groin. [i didn't really.] I was waiting for the arrow to the knee jokes to start invading Edugeek. Well done sir.
X-13 Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 I was waiting for the arrow to the knee jokes to start invading Edugeek. Well done sir. Arrow+Knee jokes are only good when they apply directly to the conversation, as this did. Just like "that's what she said".
elsiegee40 Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 I have to say that it's unusual for me to come across anyone who expresses surprise that I'm a woman working in technical IT these days... which is why this guy's reaction flummoxed me.

Perhaps, he wasn't aware that kitchens can have decent tech too? [i'm joking... Please don't hurt me.]
glennda Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 Perhaps, he wasn't aware that kitchens can have decent tech too? [i'm joking... Please don't hurt me.] You Say that but alot of Professional Chef's are male - just like the IT Industry. I'm all for Females in the Industry! Google is actually running a graduate program to encourage more females into the profession!
X-13 Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 You Say that but alot of Professional Chef's are male It's a regular sausage-fest.
glennda Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 It's a regular sausage-fest. Professional Kitchens are one of the best places to work IMHO (having been there done that) not for this reason though! Its hard work though for not great amounts of money!
witch Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 Females rule males Geeks rule non-geeks Therefore: Female geeks rule EVERYTHING Mwahhahhhahhahahahahah
localzuk Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 Lies!! Everyone knows there are no women on the internet, ergo they can't rule anything!
elsiegee40 Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 Lies!! Everyone knows there are no women on the internet, ergo they can't rule anything! Just because you're safely back in Bristol! Have you recovered from academy-visit-envy yet @localzuk?
localzuk Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 Just because you're safely back in Bristol! Have you recovered from academy-visit-envy yet @localzuk ? My academy envy has manifested itself as a horrible cold, so it'll be a while before I recover from it. Still crying myself to sleep...
