The Big Thing for Boys is in full swing…
I got up particularly early to be here and register them all for next years Boys Big Thing and now that the 1st session is in, well, session I am at my desk with a pounding head and a cold coffee getting ready for the next round.
Now, there could be considered some benefit at spending the whole day at a conference for men when you are a single girl on the look out. But most of them are wearing gold… and it is a slightly awkward feeling actually being such a minority… almost like being in another culture. And to tell the truth it seems us girls here are being viewed with a certain amount of suspicion by the delegates… like we are going to find out those secret men’s business secrets that we have no business knowing!! Not an ideal breeding ground for romance!
In other news, I found out today that I do in fact have Monday off in lieu, no one had mentioned it because they were afraid we were going to expect hour for hour of an exchange for the work we have put in, and you can’t be doing with that can you?
[insert quizzically raised eyebrow…]
O, man! (That wasn’t on purpose, I swear!)
Good luck, girlie! But whoo-hoo for having Monday off!
Most of them are wearing gold, and are suspicious of women…what sort of conference is this, Dee?
yay! something is better than nothing I guess – enjoy your day with the beautiful weather!! I must say Jack that I thoroughly enjoy being a random single chick at a men’s conference (I’ve been at two, singing) … and most of the guys I know who have been at the women’s conferences (singing, muso’s, deacons etc) have actually enjoyed themselves – they even take the teasing in great spirits … I guess it just depends on your own comfort levels … personally, more comfortable walking into a room full of guys than a room full of chicks any day!
I can’t help feeling that random single men would find it a lot stranger being in a conference hall full of women than the other way round though! I don’t know, maybe it’s easier for women to surreptitiously check out the talent!
