Title: RE: Happy Holidays!!

Not until it comes back to Orlando.  But when it does, I'll be there. 

 

I found the best way to deal with being in a nearly-all-male work situation is to become one of the guys.  Of course I am very much a tomboy so this came naturally to me.  This may not be the right way to go about it but it kept the working relationship very smooth.  The only problems were with men who couldn't handle a woman disagreeing with them. There have only been a few so far.

 

That doesn't mean I don't thoroughly enjoy a girls' night out and a strong martini :)

No offense guys, but having only small boy children (whom I love dearly), working in a 90% male IT support organization (cause I like men) - can't help feeling like what I really need now is some good woman friends - preferably ones that both work and are raising children.  Are any of them going to IOUG?

from what Jared tells me, in the first 50 names on the list
(alphabetical>?) he found 11 out of 50 names that were obviously female
first names.

not the best statistic (1/5 of an admittedly small sample). but better
than it was a few years ago. What I really like seeing is that more and
more women are answering questions here as well
