eeneR 3 #1 March 24, 2006 I had a good laugh along with my co-workers today... Site pager goes off...i call back # them: hello me: Hi, this is Renee with Site Engineering, we received a page from this number. What can I help you with. them: I need to talk to one of them engineers...I am with wehaulit logistics me: Yup, what can I do for you? are you here to pick up server 123? them: yes, I was told to contact one of the engineers..could you please put me in contact with them. me: Sir I am "Them" them: Huh? a girl engineer? no way. (to dude with him) Hey billyjoebob they have a girl engineer. ...I manage to get thru the rest of that call and verifying the ETA for pick up. They show up, I go downstairs to go thru the logistical crap for server shipping...and the dude looks at me "So you are Renee? wow a girl" I really had thought I had been thru all of that. I have been in IT for 14 years, back when I started that was normal reaction...but now...this many years later? Where they living in a hole? Needless to say my shift partner has been having fun with this.

popsjumper 2 #3 March 24, 2006 Funny.... One of our best Field Engineers was female...she was a technical whiz-kid but just couldn't seem to get along with anyone...had to let her go....My reality and yours are quite different.

kelel01 1 #10 March 24, 2006 That sounds like this old guy that comes into our office a lot. When he was teaching me to process titles, he said, "You're pretty smart for a girl." And anytime something's done wrong, he says, "Musta been a woman." He's mostly kidding. And also a lot stupid. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think it was his son with him..they kind of looked alike, or it was a younger kid being trained. He was beside himself when I grabbed hold of one end of the server told him where to hold on and yanked it up started moving to carry it to the crate. he stood there for a second like a deer caught in headlights...least he did move pretty quick cause I prolly could have yanked it out of his hands at that moment.
