Child!Today is "Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day"... otherwise known as "Don't Let Your Coworkers Concentrate Day". I feared this day when I heard about it, and to be honest, it's not turning out as bad as I feared. However, a few things I've learned so far (and I'm only 2 hours into the day):
In related news, boys at UC San Francisco get to go to gender indoctrination today while their sisters get to do cool stuff (H/T to Tongue Tied):
Apparently the folks in the Gender Equity department have never heard of something called teaching by example. Maybe if you exposed boys and girls to the same activities, doing them together and having fun together, boys would see girls as equals. Nah... can't be that simple can it? Update: Oh it just keeps getting better. My coworker over the wall who loves to get in conference calls in his cube (hello... you have neighbors) has his daughter at work today. He's now in a conference call with someone who also has his daughter with him. Guess what... they have the two kids talking on the conference call! Nothing like passing your annoying habits on to your offspring. What's worse is that they have about 12 people in on the call. Are you kidding me?! Get a conference room!
