As to hiring her, Stephen mentioned 'What if' in his comment above. I don't do 'What if's' anymore. :)BernardLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09722619048888613647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1405576651020920367.post-65889490866148752322009-02-13T04:33:00.000-08:002009-02-13T04:33:00.000-08:00I loved this story, Bernard! :-) Too bad you could...I <I>loved</I> this story, Bernard! :-) Too bad you couldn't hire her...

I've known more than a few top notch female diagnostic techs. One who I took a Triple A seminar with a couple decades ago owns her own shop in Oakland. Writing and my little Comic and Used Book hobby shop are as much novelty as I care to have for now. :)<BR/><BR/>She has too much on the ball to end up working in my dungeon, Raine. It's one thing to own the Bat-cave and another to work in one. :)BernardLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09722619048888613647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1405576651020920367.post-37430369348361366692009-02-10T23:12:00.000-08:002009-02-10T23:12:00.000-08:00Bernard, that's a shame.

I've never had a female mechanic work on my car. I'm not sure I've ever known a female mechanic, at least I can't remember any. Maybe you could use the novelty to your benefit.Stephen Parrishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16883165490847664389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1405576651020920367.post-7935444587911699262009-02-10T21:19:00.000-08:002009-02-10T21:19:00.000-08:00Sounds like you were tempted. *g* I'm sure your wi...Sounds like you were tempted. *g* I'm sure your wife is used to your 'teasing'. ;)Jordan Summershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00437563784716604402noreply@blogger.com
