:laughing2...I'm not laughing at you ...it's just the way you presented your story. I was always getting the heat from friends about my job, but it's not from the women! It's from the guys. I really think they don't like the fact that I'm a carpenter! LOL I have my own crew...so, I do get a little more picked on about my work. Seems like a jealousy/insecurity problem...it seemed hard to work through, in my case, I found that if I gave them a chance by killing them with kindness they'll come around...it's hard at first, just swallow the false pride thing...That's what I had to do. After that, I just laughed at 'em...which started a huge giggle between all of us...it's really cool nowOriginally posted by Jin & Spawn
Since we're telling stories as examples - here's one that I will just never understand: I ended up in the right place at the right time, and there was a magazine writer that decided he wanted to do a story centered around me changing the bearings in his Chevy truck. (Quite an unusual thing for a woman to be doing in his opinion - he was a writer for a popular 4x4 magazine.) I was very excited, and when I told my 'best' friend at the time about it, she got all huffy and said "Why would he ask you to do that? That's pretty stupid." You could just see the jealousy.
