    I so want to mention the quality of management being better for them, but I think that might be about equal.

        When compared to sitting in a dark room, staring at a computer screen, and having no contact at all with the rest of humanity? Even 0.0000001 is greater than zero.

          More likely two people are dissing their cow-orkers as being worse than the Johns.

            Maybe... but personally, I'd rather talk to strangers at the supermarket, do volunteer work or find a new hobby or something if I was that desperate for human company. Hell, even some kind of internet dating site would be a better bet than a random hooker. I can't even begin to imagine what kind of low I would have to hit to think my only chance of "quality interaction" came from prostitutes. :(

              "Belle" was a high end callgirl with many regular clients and providing far more than sex, not a hooker working on a street corner giving bj's in a back alley somewhere.

                    What does Sarah Palin have to do with this? (Sorry, couldn't help myself) So far today I came in for half a day and I have talked with ZERO people. I am fairly confident tomorrow I will come in, do my thing and at least 3 other people in my area will not know I was out all morning when our weekly meeting happens. During this meeting we will discuss the budget/job situation, I will be referred to as a canary again (think miners finding out if there is a gas pocket, great system for the miner, not so much for the canary) and I will come back to my cubicle and do more QA. I bet call girls don't have conversations where they are compared to animals you keep around so they can die before you do. And if they did, I think they would either use mace and run or discontinue seeing that client...

                      Wait, supermarkets count? *whew*... For a second, I thought I was in trouble there. Ok, no need for a hooker :)

                        I don't understand your question. Essentially, all programmers are prostitutes, except that we get paid UNTIL we get screwed, not afterward.

                              So Dr. Brooke Magnanti is a respected researcher in neurotoxicology and cancer epidemiology that worked as a prostitute years ago to help pay for her PhD. However, prostitution was not the only job she had: She found an escort agency and started her secret life. “I did have another job at one point, as a computer programmer, but I kept up with my other work because it was so much more enjoyable.”[^] :sigh: :( Could this be one reason why there are so few women in our field?:~

                              Of all forms of sexual aberration, the most unnatural is abstinence.

                              I’d like her to have happy ending

                              Guess she wanted to turn the tables.\

                              Maybe I should tell my boss where to go to find high quality female programmers?

                              Visual Studio is an excellent GUIIDE.
