    People You Love to Hate

    My goodness. And I thought I had stories to share (and I do)...but that certainly is unbelievable. I hope someday that child will remember their parent...somewhere in small nooks and crannies, we always remember who was good to us. My father is a raging alcoholic. But I love him, because he...

    Parents, don't let your kids grow up to be engineers!

    I'm a bit of a fighter, and I tend to get my point across by about the fifth round...I'm working on that. I'd like to wrap it up by the first. "More than two-thirds of women still think men resent powerful women, yet women are more likely than men to say female bosses are harder to work for...

    Parents, don't let your kids grow up to be engineers!

    Let's stop the browbeating...and I will ignore your last sentence (for now)... Here are some of the facts as I knew it (late 80's to 2003...I was in middle school/high school/and college in this era...and started my career as an engineer in 2003, the end of the data presented here). Am working...

    Parents, don't let your kids grow up to be engineers!

    Interesting question...first firm was less than 200 ee's (where the "things we do not speak of" mentioned above occurred). Granted, excellent firm/reputation/experience...but frustrating to say the least...rich heritage of an old boys club, and that is what I respected most about it...thought...

    I am so gonna have my cake and eat it... Dunno any magic...I just know that is is disproportionate. And to quote my two year old, "I don't like that."

    Motorcyclist Protesting Helmet Law Dies After Hitting Head

    I really miss having Spike. Manswers is great...and I miss UFC. At least we can catch the UFC fights at Hooters and have great wings! I don't have cable...which is why I am spending so much time on this board today while I'm home...

    No I knew before you wrote it...you then confirmed it...you were talking about your wife in your first post, before mentioning anything else, and I also read your profile, prior to you spelling it out. And I think you obviously offer a unique perspective to all of this...

    Parents, don't let your kids grow up to be engineers!

    ^ concur on the "particularly women with children who work outside the home." I've been criticized at work for needing time (flex and otherwise) to tend to my three children... and I've been criticized by neighbors/family/friends for working too hard...and in their words "neglecting" my...

    Motorcyclist Protesting Helmet Law Dies After Hitting Head

    I'm sure its embellished but real deaths all the same. They guy who died from anaphylactic shock due to a latex allergy while his mistress was beating him (he had been bound and gagged and was wearing a latex suit) was just, unreal.

    I was wondering when some one was gonna bring that up. When I read her posts and viewed her profile I gathered she is a transgendered woman. Must be because I'm from New York.

    Motorcyclist Protesting Helmet Law Dies After Hitting Head

    Ahh...the freedom to be stupid. Can't beat that with a stick. I started watching old episodes of "1000 ways to die." (avail on Netflix, not sure if the show is still on the air). Totally and unequivocally unbelievable.

    Parents, don't let your kids grow up to be engineers!

    I worked in insurance for years (I also delivered pizzas for a time) prior to becoming an engineer. The insurance place was predominantly female, and it was catty, petty and annoying (but this wasn't a professional environment...we were data entry peeps, nothing more...some customer service...

    I don't know the answer to that...hence my playing devil's advocate on this board.

    Parents, don't let your kids grow up to be engineers!

    I love how anything that is said FOR one group, is somehow AGAINST another... I know men are into sports (generalization/stereotypical yes, stated for the sake of argument since we are now dissecting everything)...and they have to pick a team, and fight/kill/die for that team...but that is not...

    Now that Congress isn't busy with Weinergate, yes, maybe they can focus on this.

    Casey Anthony Trial

    Such a sad story...I have a little beauty who is 2.5 yrs old and it just breaks my heart...accidental or not, how you could party after something happens to your child is unbelievable. I haven't kept up with this story...and just gave wikipedia a whirl to get some of the highlights (if not the...
