How many women here have this problem? Back when I was working in the real world I would get stuck with a deadline/bug etc... and have to work real loooong days. (Nice to be back to school for a while :-) ) I had lots of trouble then getting things done at home like cooking,house keeping etc... (I eventually gave up on cooking). I found out that my SO also working for a computer company (same kind of job) would expect me to handle most of these problems even though we both worked roughly the same hours (9 to 10:00!!!) and he still does :-[ What I am interested in is how do you handle a computer and a house ?????? I will be looking for a job soon now and also would like to know what kind of attitude to expect from people I might be working with... the only thing that really BUGGED me when I was working is that I had to be twice as 'good' as my male co-workers to get my bosses-customers think they could trust me ........ But then maybe I'm paranoid ??/ Well I hope this starts some discussions here.... ________________________________________________________________________ Trust me I know what I'm not doing... ________________________________________________________________________
