Stress, stress, and more stress...
As this semester is coming to an end, I find myself extremely stressed out. From the amount of Mythology papers, resumes, power point projects, modules, finals next week and the everyday stresses of work and life in general. Everything seems to be piling up. Not to mention the amount of bullshit I have to deal with from my fellow classmates and teachers seems to be rapidly getting greater. You know, we get lectured on a daily basis about making sure we work as a "team".. Yeah well it's easier said than done. It's really hard to work with people that like to talk bad about their other "teammates" behind their back... And one thing that really pisses me off is when your "teammate" has a problem with you because you are a female and are "slower" than them, and you apparently don't know as much as they do... Well tough shit buddy, you will have to deal with women in the field for the rest of your time being in the Auto/Diesel world.. And for some reason the boys have it in their head that the females in the class get some kind of royal treatment or something. Well we DON'T. We get points taken off for not coming to class, being late, not wearing safety glasses, sleeping in class, non academic use of cell phones and not "supporting teammates". I got a 0 for helping another student swap transfer cases in her truck and the teachers comment was "student chose not to attend class". We get graded just the same as them. It seems that the majority of males in our class have more dick in their personality than they do in their pants..
Since when does my gender dictate what I can and can't do?
I am so fed up with the stupid ass comments about women in the field. Yes, there are women in the field, and yes you will just have to deal with-it.. I've gotten numerous comments from men saying " I don't want a girl working on my car".. Well buddy if you know everything then please work on your own shit. It's not always easy being a women in what some of you may call a mans field, sometimes it's hard and sometimes we may want to give up. Here is some advice for other women in the field :
Be tough
Be ambitious
And know exactly what you want
And if that makes you a "bitch" than so be it...
Almost at a loss for words, Eliza! See my e-mail for my thoughts. What a talent!
