I just said that you're pretty. Even when you're covered in...engine grease, you're... No, especially, especially when you're covered in engine grease.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Were they doing drugs (or whatever) together down the tracks, maybe?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Oh wait...I was using the metric system. My bad.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Maybe the second one tried to rescue the first one and failed?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

If a team for a project happens to be made up entirely of men, do people normally feel a need to point that out? I just did a show with an all female tech team and a few times someone brought up the "all-girl" or "all-women" thing.

And I just got a request to interview with an all-female theatre company.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

No, because all-male, or at least male-dominated, is assumed to be the default.

Right. I asked the wrong question.

Would any of you be inclined to point out an all-female or all-non-gender-based demographic?

I can't quite put my finger why it seemed odd to me in this situation.

Is it that unusual in your profession?

All-female? I guess it's less common than all-male, but then I'm not around to notice the all-male situations.

I think there are probably more women working in theatre (in non-performance roles) in Chicago than elsewhere. Percentage-wise at least. So it doesn't seem so unusual to me.
