I'm what you would call a 'girly girl' but I'm also passionate about tech.

Although, I did have lots of friends who were girls in primary school and highschool but as soon as I moved away for college, all my friends turned into boys?!? How did this happen :(. I joined a netball club to try and meet more girls. <br /><br />I would definitely appreciate more chick flicks and dancing in my life.Danahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06109444210848121089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8501278254137514883.post-57676940013073042732009-10-29T16:30:47.868-07:002009-10-29T16:30:47.868-07:00Hehe, I agree, being a girl in CS *is* awesome :) ...Hehe, I agree, being a girl in CS *is* awesome :) And there is of course the other bonus at conferences - toilets are always free.. ;)<br /><br />You do get the odd awkward moment when you realise that you are being interviewed only because you are a girl and it would look good on the report to the board, but fortunately those are few, and quite easy to spot and get away from :)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10032534846653984185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8501278254137514883.post-50389336348200050312009-10-29T16:26:48.872-07:002009-10-29T16:26:48.872-07:00I've only dated once a CS girl and it didn'...I've only dated once a CS girl and it didn't go that well.

One: I'm married (sort of) to an IT/CS girl, and there's something terribly sexy when she announces that she'll 'upgrade the router firmware' on Sunday. <br /><br />Second (more seriously), IMHO affirmative action will be needed as long as all firms I've worked for continue to have grave concerns about hiring women in the 'childbearing age'.Mauritshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08843182130881908310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8501278254137514883.post-17930168870945234292009-10-29T09:45:18.205-07:002009-10-29T09:45:18.205-07:00If you're ever in SLO, Pamela, I'll get to...If you're ever in SLO, Pamela, I'll get together a group and we'll watch a nice a RomCom.
