Reply #100: Ha. Are you me?

Oh yeah, the husband part probably precludes that, huh? ;)

I know alot of folks who move from music to IT. I also know alot of women who suffer the slings and arrows of hostile pettiness in the music biz (but come on, talk about a ridiculously competitive field!) only to gobsmacked at the support and camaraderie they find in IT. (Not necessarily from the men...)

That's the part of this discussion that baffles me. I have worked with and for the most awesome women and the (very) few I've encountered that are petty bitches (and I always use that word sparingly), I attribute to individuals who are shallow, frightened and insecure. Most of us just ignore them. Most of us understand that putting down someone else says more about the speaker than it does the speak-ee.
