techrecoveryDear Newbie CSRs
Yes! There is a female sitting in the big bad BOFH chair! My word! With boobies and all! Isn't that a sight!
What's more, she belongs there you assreaming snatchbasket! I was punching code back when you were trying to decide which end of a keyboard to shove up your arse. Stare at me again with that inbred expression of amusement and I'll follow that keyboard with a twenty-one inch SUN monitor.
Fucktards.
EDIT The sad part is, I've held this position for two/two and a half years. The perils of working permanent graveyard....

If one more person says, "Oh, you're the technical authority for the email system?", I will get two 400W PSUs, strap them to their balls, plug 'em in, and flick the voltage selectors to 110V¹. We'll see who's laughing then, mate.

Even better is when our chain of command is not only female, but includes a couple of foreign names which the average caller can't immediately identify as male or female. They ask to speak to that person and get put through to an annoyed female manager (with optional heavy accent). Pwned!
[1] Speaking figuratively. Being a bloke means I've only heard second-hand accounts.

I don't understand the problem
Date: 2005-12-03 03:53 pm (UTC)I've never understood why people get their underwear in a knot about it. The plumbing shouldn't be a big deal
*gasp* ESTROGEN?!?
Date: 2005-12-06 08:41 pm (UTC)On behalf of the Y-chromosone members of the species whose experience with women goes beyond Maxim magazine and the 'Dirty Debutantes' video series, we apologize.
Pah. I'm in my thirties, and I've had a sixteen year old girl as my 'superior'... Why? Because she knew what she was doing. 'L' knew how to run the sound board at the club, I didn't know shit about mixing; thus, I'm the "microphone monkey" moving mike stands and cables and saying "Check... Check..." and following the instructions issued by the person who's in charge. I fear the collective heads of knuckle you're currently saddled with wouldn't last too long at that collective.
I will admit one gender-based bias, though. If I am going to have a 'puter worked on, I prefer to have a female hardware tech doing the work, for two reasons: generally speaking, women have smaller hands than men (thus are more 'maneuverable' inside a tower), and women don't give in to the "Jam on me, willya? HII-YAAH!!" inclination as quickly as men, when faced with tightly-wedged bits of hardware.
