November 20th

We did an activity on Tuesday about how many influential women we know work pink versus blue collar jobs.  All five of my women, my mother, two sisters, grandmother, and friend work in places that are dominated by the male gender.  My mother is an office manager in an office that is full of men, without her, those guys would be hopelessly lost .  My sister Gwen is 32 and is a supervisor for Charter Communications in Fond du Lac and she bosses around a predominate male group.  My sister Becca is a Lab Technition for Covance Incorporated in Madison.  Most of her coworkers are male and think they are God, but when they have questions they come to my sister for help and imput.  My grandmother is retired, but in her glory days, she was a meat cutter for Schwarzs' Supper Club in St. Anna Wisconsin.  She never took any crap from her male bosses from the day she started to the day she retired.  Finally my friend Tina works for AGAPE of Appleton with developmentally disabled adult MALES.  Granted this is like a nanny job, but it takes a lot of guts to work with men who are bigger than you who are prone to hitting and kicking when they get upset.  All of these women had to work very hard to get to where they are today, and half the time, men would be incapable of completing the tasks without some form of help from a WOMAN.
