[Lindsey]

I work with a lot of sexist men. One engineer won't even talk to me when I'm the only person working on his project. He asks my supervisor to talk to him about it, and then my supervisor comes back and tells me what I need to do. I've even heard that particular guy say "Lindsey doesn't know what the f*ck she's doing!" and I sit back and take it. I'm really sick of it. You might remember a few weeks ago I got up the courage to ask for a raise... My boss was going to talk to me about it later, and later still hasn't come. No raise, no mention of it at all.
I'm just really discouraged by this whole industry. We do have a ton of female engineers and geologists and geoscientists in our office... I think more professional women than men actually. But they sit back and take everything too. And they're OKAY with it! If a guy (usually my perverted supervisor) makes a sexual comment they just LAUGH! It makes me feel sick to my stomach. Our receptionist has let me know she feels the same as I do. I don't know, I think I might just be ready to leave this company.
