Teppy, I love that story! Thank you for sharing.
I tell you I have this theory. It goes where, you're the one who's not my sister. Cuz mom adopted you from a shoe box full of baby howler monkeys, and never told you cuz it could hurt your delicate baby feelings.

Spike's Bitches 35: We Got a History
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
When I worked at a credit card company, there was a customer who insisted that only men be allowed to handle his account, as he didn't trust women to handle his financial stuff.
We canceled his account.

"Huh. Can you ask (boss) about that"
I find that questions like this are an excellent opportunity to put clients on hold while I go to the kitchen and get coffee.

Geek love is great love. Hubby and I often discuss high energy physics and world history.
I made a physics joke last night, too, and he laughed his ass off. There was a commercial on TV for the Ford Fusion, and I said, "Yeah, they tried to market the Fission, but it just kept falling apart."

It's a not-for-profit, so there tend to be a lot of women anyway, but we've ended up with only the one man.
This is us too! Except we're a staff of 5 not including the regional director. Never fails to amaze me that some people just. don't. get. it.

I'm using that Fission joke on Hubby.
It's been a long time, fortunately, since I've had anyone comment on my gender in regards to tech competency. Fortunately, all the comments were "Oh, I so much rather work with a woman, men are too impatient," but it's probably better for the Struggle if gender never gets a comments.
And no one's thought I was a guy in ages, either.

I have on this [link] jacket today and it is so cute! They don't show the front, which I think is cuter than the back. It has Asian-style narrow, cylinder wood buttons (double-breasted style). It is teh cute!
