National "Girls day" in DE

[voodooflux]

Dunno about anyone else, but this department is sadly lacking in Eye Candy

Same here

[FiveTimes]

They're running a "Girls Day" here in an attempt to get more women into engineering.

Quite right too, I say. Dunno about anyone else, but this department is sadly lacking in Eye Candy

You'd be a bit miffed if you only had balding over-aged sacks of fat to look at all day.

And that's just the women!

You must be at the same client as me. No decent eye candy.

Isn't it a bit sad that techies suffer all sorts of prejudices about being pale skinned, unfit, badly dressed and unable to seduce women, and that so many fellow techies seem determined to fit this stereotype perfectly?

Hang on.

Are you having a pop at me?

I don't know. Are you pale skinned, unfit, badly dressed and unable to seduce a woman?

Do you play Dungeons and Dragons?

Do you own more than one Iron Maiden album?

Hang on, I'm having a go at myself now. Shut up Mich, someone might think you're a geek.

Distincnt lack here too.

You would of thought that in construction the odds would have been good but it turns out that the goods are odd

I'd have to answer "no" to all but two of those. And I ain't saying which ones (but the clue is in my Avatar)

pale skinned - nope, just back from 2 weeks in Oman and spent xmas in Thailand

unfit - errr that's being fixed

badly dressed - no way

unable to seduce women - no

and that so many fellow techies seem determined to fit this stereotype perfectly? sorry, not guilty

Of all those things, I shall only admit to owning 2 Iron Maiden albums.
