OK with this I take great offence. Please point out where I tytrated against you or any other women. If I pointed out fact which you disagree with provide a rebuttal. If not then please don't accuse me of things which I have not done. And yeah I knew what you were talking about.

I think Mr. Nicholson said it best when he stated, "She can do or say whatever she wants with that body and all the guys in the room will just smile and agree." Supply Vs. Demand. I do admit it is a bit sick to view sexuality and beauty as aggregate supply. I'm not being sexist just pointing out the obvious. For a taste of what it feels to be on the other side of the equation men visit strip clubs. Or as I understand it Russia or other Eastern European countries is a nice place to visit for your average guy who has a job, is educated and is not prone to heavy drinking or abusive behavior. It is what it is. Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay. The only thing that falls from the sky is birdshit and fools!

Then why do you bring it up at every single opportunity you can find? Just saying... Of which I report on here when prompted. You brought up panties in a twist, I indicated why I really am not too worried about the aforementioned panties FOR...those who's panties are in a twist are really not worth the effort since they are saturated with requests. Not that they are not worth the effort due to being not attractive nor not my type. We good? :-) Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay. The only thing that falls from the sky is birdshit and fools!

missbrz At my home DZ and the two others I've had the chance to visit. When you see me in "real" life, and I hope we do get a chance to meet one day, you may be surprised as to how laid back I am. Yet I am observant of the environment around me. I enjoy being a fly on the wall and studying social interactions. I find them to be fascinating. Of which I report on here when prompted. Please not I'm not angry or upset, I see it I report it. And it's ok if a guy or guys help a girl at the DZ carry stuff, pack her main or give her a free reserve pack job or some free "coaching". It's life. Simple supply vs demand. Nothing to be upset about. The last issue of Blue Skies Issue #20, on page 24, paragraph #3, a very nice article by Sydney Owen starts off with " As a single chick at a drop zone..." and so on which goes on to describe the gender socio conditions at her local DZ. Such is life, and one should really argue too hard about it nor be offended by it. Arguing about it, simply feeds the leviathans of depression.

Yes, I always put personal development above the project time line. The simple answer YES, when he or she comes back in the next day they will be refreshed and ready to innovate.

I never implied or suggested this. My implication were, if she is getting hit on every second of every hour she is at the DZ two things happen 1) She will develop a hyper inflated sense of self, her ego. "Shucks I must be the most bitching woman on the planet! Shit I simply said I hate when I have to pack and 5 guys jumped and packed for me and one of them even gave me a foot rub." Now I'm sure she is a nice enough girl but do you think in the "real" world she would get the same level of treatment? Odds are....no. 2) If her hyper inflated sense of self isn't as large as Jupiter she is most likely just pissed off at getting hit on. I'm sure the getting your shit carried to and from your car and your main packed for you "just because" does get a bit too much...though I've never seen a girl say no to a foot rub....so she is pissed off at men. Thus, I ask why? Why would any guy fall into any of the above traps? I'm sorry I'm sure you are a very cool person but I see you as an equal, and as such you can carry your own stuff to and from your car and you can pack your own main and pay for you reserve pack jobs. I am not going to do any of the above "just because" you are the ony other girl at the DZ or in an engineering office. Sorry. But no worries on your end...note #1 Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.

There are how many girls in this sport? 10% maybe 15% Such a small target set that gets hit on every second of every day at ever DZ by any Tom, Dick or Harry, why even consider it an option.

I'm very sorry to hear about your pain. I too though of darker skin have made a similar mistake while out in Yuma Arizona. Testing was cancelled for the day, way too much time by the pool and well the next week were hell. All the above are great points of advice. Liquids should be your best friends for the next few days. If you so wish invest in light clothing to keep the pressure off your skin (do women need an excuse to shop? If so here is a good one!) Further more here is an odd one. But you are just going to have to trust me on this one. Extra Virgin Olive Oil....yeah. No joke! My aunt owns a beauty salon / spa in Texas. She charges something like $300 for this so I'm giving it to you for free. Go out and buy the most expensive highest purity extra virgin olive oil you can. The super green stuff! Pull your hair up away from your skin, your hair loves the stuff and it will plump up and become an unmanageable mess if you get any on your hair. Take a cold shower. When you get out carefully dry yourself off. Pour a good bit of olive oil on a clean soft cloth and just paint yourself. The first application will quickly be absorbed into your skin. It may sting it may tingle. That's normal. Add another layer after 5 min. Yes you will have to do this naked, yes it will help if your boyfriend can lend a helping hand, yes odds are he will now think you are the hottest thing on the planet and no you should not have sex. Do this for about three days, usually in the evening. Yeah you will smell like a salad. But your skin will thank you. And the pain will be significantly lower. And that was your $300 beauty tip from Shah. Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.

What would you like to be doing instead? Not working with engineers. The further you get away from the engineering world two things happen. The pay goes up up and yes UP! And the people start getting more "normal". My friends who work in the financial world are always amazed by the stories I tell them about the behavior of some of our top notch engineers. And for half of my career it has been my job to train and work with these guys and one or two gals and get them such that they can communicate with upper management. I have a few business cards that read Shah "I translate Engineering to English." As for what I wish to do when I grow up? Project management seems to be where my abilities lie. Furthermore regarding these "professionals" inability to communicate I highly suggest they spend their evenings taking some ESL classes. If I can learn the language so can they. No excuses! It's downright rude and very disrespectful for their newly adopted home. God knows I was very embarrassed when I was living in Finland and I could not speak the language.

In under a million words. Due to funds being limited I attended two and a half years at a community college. Left there with a B+ average. An hour and change drive each way rain or shine but I did it....though it left a mark. After which I attended a large state university. I graduated with a B average. Why am I offended that the professors can't or don't wish to learn English? Simple! I'm an immigrant. I learned the language. So why can't they? I was the guy who would after the class tell the professor from Kurblakistan "Ok Sangive can you please redo the entire class in English? Other than the 4 guys and what I think is a girl from Kurblakistan in the front row none of us paying customers understood a word you just said for the pas hour." Needless to say the professors and I did not see eye to eye. They thought I was a dick...and they were right and I knew they were too stupid to get real jobs. As for engineering field itself. As stated I've been in the field for the past 9 years, both in the civilian and governmental capacity. It's the same on either side of the fence. As a psych professor once declared "Engineers, for my next PHD I will do a study to prove my hypothesis that on average most of them are suffering from a mild form of asperger's syndrome." And for those that have indicated that money isn't one of your major concerns, to say I am envious of your station is an understatement. As an immigrant no funds means death. I can't exactly call mom and ask for a bail out nor crash in her basement. Thus with a finite income ceiling and other social constraints in my opinion the best place for me is far away from Engineering. Is it for others? Yes. Was it once for me? Sure. But life has changed and so have I and this boy needs to utilize his education and his various learned skills and seriously increase his income. And you can't do that in engineering.

Community college saved me. I came from a very good high school with a number of AP classes. Yet I'm sure if I had run off into the big university I would have sank. However I got very lucky met a number of great professors who gave me a solid foundation of the basics so as to be able to enter the larger university and be able to deal with the SHIT that the professors who did not speak English put out. As for engineering? I honestly think it's the end of the line for me in this field. There are only two more positions above me and both are political and I'm not interested in that game. Going to work for the private industry would be an option but it would be about the same type of people and maybe a 10% increase in pay. For me running the number it is just not worth it. I am seriously considering a move into higher finance. I enjoy the technical aspects of the field as well as the unlimited earnings potential not to mention the more equitable distribution of the sexes. For me, working in an office full of guys....is only fun until you run out of good fart jokes. I personally prefer a more diverse work environment and engineering at the moment is truly lacking it.

How so? I have no family network in this country or really in any country. So I had to go where the unemployment rate was the lowest at the least possible cost. Engineering fit the bill. As I said I just put my head down and pushed till I was out with the hopes of doing all the normal personal development and growth when I got out..... Sad part, though i am a good engineer I have discovered that this is not the beste field for me and now I'm attempting an escape to be around more outgoing people and dare I say it a more gender balanced work force.
