*Signs that I'm working in a male-dominated office these days:

[saffronhare]

1. Every single toilet in the building today -- that's three different bathrooms -- has the seat up.


2. Nobody has commented on my new haircut. (I can't say for sure whether anybody's noticed.)


3. Nobody has commented on the ring I'm wearing on my left hand.


4. I received favorable reviews on my accidental use of the "f-bomb."

*No, I don't have a permanent job yet. This is just on-site work for a freelance client. And I kinda like it. :)

By way of contrast, every dude in the building today has commented on my new haircut. Which I don't have. If they start talking about my tongue ring, I'm going home.

Three cheers for stereotype-smashing, or whatever! :)

My kids asked me today (all 40-something of them, individually) if I had cut my hair. I replied, "No, I paid someone else to do it."

Because I'm a smart-ass.

The mythology in my office is that, while we were tilting strongly in favor of hiring the current VP of engineering before his second interview, we decided we HAD TO HAVE HIM when he f-bombed in that second interview.
