I got a call on my cell phone at work this morning from a gal at the labor relations board . She said that they were making a calendar of "women in the trade" . I really didn't want to do it but she kinda guilted me into it by saying that "women work hard to get where they are , having someone who is in the union would bring recognition to it , and it would bring recognition to the employer who I am currently working for . " So like the idiot I am I said OK . Turns out that she wanted to take pictures that day at 11:00am . So I spent 45 minutes with this photographer telling me how to wear my tool belt , how to position my face etc. !!!!!!!!!!!! All the while , my foreman is laughing at me and all I can do is roll my eyes . I thought it would be a 10 minute thing , take a couple of pictures , then I could get back to my work . Does anyone else think that this is a little .... what's the word .... foo foo ? "Here I am little miss pretty with my tool bag , faking a pose , saying hello ." Why oh Why did I agree to this !!!!
