I know we have all heard the expression, “Work always gets in the way of a good time.” My friend actually used it today on her facebook profile. I have used the expression sarcastically with my students.
If you didn’t already know, I am a special education teacher. I work with high school students that have moderate to severe cognitive disabilities. I love my job. I love my students. I love that I have less that two weeks left of work and then three magical weeks off.
Today, I went to training at the district office. I was my looking around the room of about 25 people and noticed that 24 of them were women. The only man in the room was another teacher from my campus. He is a nice guy and really funny and is married with a few kids.
Sitting in the training reminded me of my teacher prep program, again, predominantly women. Then I started thinking about the staff at the school I work at now and other campuses I have worked with. Yep, you guessed it, predominantly women. So maybe in my case, “work always gets in the way of meeting eligible men.”
That's how i felt in college too! Damn our female to male ratio in our professions! If there are men in design, you can bet they're gay!
