about work
|
||
|
|
----------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
So I'm a chick. A chick that happens to be a unix system administrator
|
||
|
|
with about 3 years of experience. During those three years I have
|
||
|
|
learned more than syslog and perl. I have learned that Women Aren't
|
||
|
|
Supposed to Know How to Use a Computer. I have worked for two
|
||
|
|
companies. In both of them, my job description is, in nicer terms,
|
||
|
|
Grunt. In both teams I have been a part of, I have been the equivalent
|
||
|
|
of the nice assistant who gets coffee for her boss. While Senior Unix
|
||
|
|
Rocket Scientists 1 and 2 go off to add new services, change and
|
||
|
|
design network architectures, and Make the World a Better Place,
|
||
|
|
I wrestle with backups, adduser, and alias files.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Why is this, I wonder? I have a few theories. One possible theory is
|
||
|
|
that because men have penises, they must also have more brain power.
|
||
|
|
Like the stegosaurus with a smart tail, the penis makes complicated
|
||
|
|
things like TCP/IP much easier for men to understand. Another theory
|
||
|
|
is that breasts suck intelligence from women. Women have to support
|
||
|
|
all of that extra body fat, which takes more energy, which makes time
|
||
|
|
for comprehension of things like file descriptors simply too
|
||
|
|
difficult. Makes the brain smaller, you know? My favorite theory,
|
||
|
|
though, is that many of the men in this industry are simply pigs.
|
||
|
|
They like having A Chick on the team so that they have someone
|
||
|
|
they can feel superior to. Even if they are complete nimrods, they
|
||
|
|
can rest easy in the knowledge that their manager will gladly place
|
||
|
|
the blame on the dumb gash who doesn't know how to do anything.
|
||
|
|
Plus, it's someone they can make fun of without repercussion,
|
||
|
|
because if The Chick complains, she probably will never be able to
|
||
|
|
work in the industry again. Since I have been a system administrator,
|
||
|
|
I have had disk drives thrown at me, I have been called an idiot,
|
||
|
|
I have been patted on the ass, I have been asked about my sex life,
|
||
|
|
and a host of other things which never seem to happen to Rocket
|
||
|
|
Scientists 1 and 2.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
So now that we have established that there are a ton of male swine
|
||
|
|
in the computer industry, let's talk about the women. There seems
|
||
|
|
to be 2 major types of female computer geeks. There are the
|
||
|
|
Femme Fatales and the Butch Bitches. The Femme Fatales wear skirts
|
||
|
|
while they program, smile a lot and ask silly questions, and bat
|
||
|
|
their eyes when asking for favors. The swine seem to like the Femmes,
|
||
|
|
mostly because they appeal to their ego. You can see it when they
|
||
|
|
talk to the Femme - you can tell how difficult it is for them to
|
||
|
|
control the urge to beat their chests and make mating cries while
|
||
|
|
helping the Femme get that nasty PCI video card into the right slot.
|
||
|
|
Sad thing is, she probably knows how to do it, but she is smart
|
||
|
|
enough to ask for help so that the Rocket Scientist doesn't feel
|
||
|
|
threatened. Then there are the Butch Bitches. I am one of those.
|
||
|
|
The Butch Bitches use rough language, always wear jeans, avoid
|
||
|
|
make-up, and volunteer to carry heavy things so that the Rocket
|
||
|
|
Scientist understands that she is not a weakling. While the Femme
|
||
|
|
Fatale appeals to the Rocket Scientist's protector instinct, the
|
||
|
|
Butch Bitch tries to be one of the guys. That's how disk drives
|
||
|
|
get thrown at the Butch Bitch - she projects that attitude that
|
||
|
|
she can take anything and more. For some reason, the Butch Bitch
|
||
|
|
approach doesn't work as well as the Femme Fatale approach, I think,
|
||
|
|
mostly because deep down the Rocket Scientist *knows* that the
|
||
|
|
Butch Bitch does not have a penis.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
So, what to do? I think I will have to go shopping soon. I might
|
||
|
|
be able to find some skirts I like, maybe one or two pairs of heels,
|
||
|
|
some doe-eyed make-up effects... It might not be too late to be a
|
||
|
|
Femme Fatale.
