Opis

Equal pay for equal work? It all works out by the end, right? While the rest of the world unknowingly sat on the threshold of home computers and the Internet, I helped build some of that telecommunications infrastructure. That career choice rebuilt me including my frame of mind. After naively majoring in software, computer programming, I secured a job. In that technology, the guys weren't totally ready for me to 'break the ceiling.' I landed in that field when society still believed that math and logic skills were born in men, only. In short, my narrative takes you down my career path and memory lane in an extremely exaggerated fashion, or does it? While reading this hysterical, I mean historical novel, keep in mind that I might have made it all up. Some of my ex-management and employers might suggest that I exaggerated. If you agree with those guys, that becomes their exoneration from the 'group of men behaving badly' that I refer to as 'the good ole boys'. My goal is to give the reader a glimpse of the past- my past. In briefs, I mean in short, I'll allow the court of popular opinion to decide the merits of my case against some, but not all, men.
