I recently went out to Delta's Fab Yard and Kiewit's and wore the pink hat because I know people at both yards and knew they'd be expecting me to come bold!

I LOVED my seven years at the Brown & Root Fab Yard.

In my position, it's important that the guys take me seriously. If I turned up in a pink hardhat, I'm not sure what they would do. A few of the guys at Lyndell Corpus Christi would get a kick out of it. They are pretty cool, but many of them would not take me as seriously, I'm sure. I do have pink nails and a pink iPhone sleeve some of the time, but that's different.

I've been trying to get Kewit's business, in Ingleside, but they have been a tough nut to crack. There's an inside sales woman at a competitor down there that they really like. She is tough to compete with. I have inside sales guys, and it's just not the same.
