Do I Take This Job?

[abbeyleigh]

So I went for an induction in this laundry place and not sure about ad there's people in and out and I was the only girl it felt like.

[Tilly2]

Well, leave.

[wolf63]

Try it for a week and see how you get on.

[bednobs]

being the only girl can be daunting, but not insurmountable

Abbey/ I once had a job working on sector where I was the only female among dozens of males - believe me, I was regarded as just another male! What I did learn though was that men are worse gossips than women!

Once they let you loose on your own, you'll be so busy you'll not notice who is coming in and out. The working day will fly by. Then at the end of the month you'll be rewarded with some wonga.

No, No, Noooooooooo!

I think the problem here, is that you've misinterpreted 'man speak'!

When you hear, let's say the word 'transistor' you automatically think this is someone's sister we are talking about who has changed gender.

There will be other words you may have heard in 'man speak' that you may have misconstrued. See below for other examples;

'Resistor' does not mean the man had to resist her attentions.

'Diode' is not a Welsh poet eg .Dylan Thomas

'Transformer' is not meant as changing a female into something else

'Diac' is not the equivalent of a Welsh Hacker eg. Julian Assange but only Welsh.

'AC/DC' is not meant to be taken as one's sexual orientation.

'Klystron' does not mean we blokes are talking about Star Trek.

So hopefully you can see now, that it's easy for you womenfolk to think men are gossiping in the work place.
When in fact this is the nomenclature that is commonplace in the electronics industry!

Put it down to a simple mistake on your part.

I await your apology.

[Hopkirk]

From what I hear, you don't want to work in an all female environment.

[smurfchops]

What does your agency say about the amount of interviews you go for, and you don’t get any of the jobs?? What did you wear by the way?

[abbeyleigh]

It not all agency work

[Hazlinny]

Zebu/ Wot apology? When I said I found men were worse gossips than women, I meant just that (worked in a portacabin beside nine of them) - Ignoratio elenchi.

Do you think you will like it more than McDonald's? If not, stay where you are and keep looking for something you're better suited to.

You missed my point.
