Does anyone remember there having ever been a female egotist at WFTD, or have all of them been male?

i think the females in this class are among the most self deprecating and self aware on the planet. we acknowledge our foibles and have a very grounded sense of our plusses and minuses. we are not rocket scientists, we are not chick magnets with hot cars, we don't parachute out of airplanes, we are not prima ballerinas, we are not indispensable anywhere except maybe at home where we feed, clothe and clean up after everyone else. we just ARE. and then .....there's...PATTON... ; )

I do believe you are correct-in fact, I'm sure most of us are currently engaged in one or more of those activities right now-I just finished fixing lunch for hubby and am engaged in doing laundry, which I believe comes under the clothing/cleaning up after everyone. In all fairness, Patton isn't the only big ego here, but he certainly ranks up there at the top...

I just came home from lunch and a quick stop in a clothing store with a girlfriend. (I resisted temptation and didn't buy a thing) I have a few hours to myself and then I am on for a 24 hour shift covering for that same friend. I am going to sound just like patton when I add that I am just soooooooooooo selfless. /sarcasm (sorry patton, I was told by sg that I was polishing my own halo last night -- at least she recognizes that I have one! ;)

Good grief, don't overdo it-and be careful.

Was it in the last couple years, or before I was coming to class? I can't think of any women I've seen here that were as egotistical as some of the guys...

No overdoing it for me. I know my limits. Hopefully all will be quiet.
