Well, if he programs in a real man's language like C++, then it's possible, but VB? C'mon, pull the other leg!!!

You have this problem too? I mean, the girls are great, and I love to have deeply satisfying intellectual discussions with them, why just yesterday we got into a discussion of immortality and the possible ramifications in multiple n-Simplon Wheeler universes, but I really need my space! Sometimes I just can't concentrate on the work at hand, but I don't have the heart to tell them to go away.

You think she went for the MVP? Its the new Dell Laptop (he has got some money now), the BMW key chain( looks like he has got a BMW) and a Nice cell phone(looks like a salary raise).

"Hmmm, I wonder if this guy knows about the VCF? That's what all the cool programmers are using according to Jenna Jameson." That'd be my guess.

So, she can order chocolates online? :rolleyes:

Shog on learning VB6: Ah, that would have been VB6. Kicked my ass anyway. So easy to learn, just like falling down a flight of stairs...

It's good to hear you've finally risen to the challenge; and now, hopefully, with her on board, the competition will get blown away with the direction you're headed. :-D

Well we're still in negotiations over salary and exactly where she would fit in the grander scheme of things. We're quite delighted to have "stolen" her away from Microsoft, where she was acting as press spokeswoman[^]. The reasons she gave us for leaving Microsoft was to further her interest in C++, and to "broaden her horizons" (we're still not sure exactly what that means). All that said, we're super excited to have her on board, and look forward to integrating her unique talents within the project.

Actually I can say it did happen to me once... There was a cute new hire that seemed to be particularly interested in having me show her the ropes. And then there was girl #2, also equally good looking whom just happened to stop by my cube for a visit and grew rather suspicious of said newbie... Luckily for girl #2 she met me first so I had to play seniority... But I guess the fact we were married had a lot to do with it :P She eventually got over her suspisions, but my guess is her hormones were a little off given she recently gave birth to our son.... Sadly there was no catfight or name calling and all ended well... It was a slow day and I could have used the entertainment :P

Jim Crafton

Yeah that whole marriage thing really tends to complicate things...

The ad is obviously false. Women (or at least women that look feminine) don't work in IT. :laugh:
