First Post

Okay, I am going to try this. Not sure I really have anything anyone wants to read, but I follow so many people on the web, I thought I would give this a try. I am going to talk about step-parenting, religion, conservative values, and being an absolute minority in a very male-dominated occupation.

I am a wife, and a step-mother, and I am a colleague described "alpha-geek". I am a High Availability Subject Matter Expert in a field where most people who do what I do aren't women. I believe in equal pay for equal work, but believe that a man can still open the door for me and I will say thank you. I am not easily offended by "male" behavior, and have promised my co-workers they will never be reported to HR, if they ever really manage to offend me, I will solve the problem with a right cross.

I have all the options in the world open to me, and I realize that all my choices have consequences.

This blog may have anything and everything on it over the next few months.

So we will see. Constructive criticism requested !
