Don’t mess with a woman engineer

Many years ago (1982), I was working as an engineer for a large company. I’d just moved to a new organization within the company. I didn’t realize it when I interviewed for the position, but the person I was assigned to work under 1) HATED young engineers that got there via college degree, and 2) HATED women in the workplace!


Well, the end of the first week, there was a staff meeting for everyone in the department. As I walked in, the boss turned to me and said, “Catfancy BunnyMom” go get coffee for everyone.” I saw red, but then had an idea. I headed to the break room, not even taking time to put my notebook and pens down. Picked up a full pot of coffee, a stack of cups, huge handfuls of creamer and sugar, and a bunch of stir sticks. Obviously, I was totally laden down with it all.


When I got back to the conference room, I tripped!!! Dropped the full pot of coffee onto the table. I thought it would just spill, but it shattered and spewed hot coffee everywhere! I then stated, very apologetically,  “oh no! I’m such a klutz! It’s probably why I went into something that would use my brain rather than my physical abilities. I’m so sorry!” For some reason, I was never asked to get coffee again!
