Trying to do one post a month

After re-reading some of my posts, I feel like my blog is the definition of trite.

Blah, blah, blah women are capable. Blah blah blah men need to do their fair share around the house if women are going to work full time.

I'm going to try to get away from that and stick to short rants.

I'm taking an online SQL class. So I went to a meeting last night for Tulsa SQL users. It's liberal to call myself a user. And I'm certainly not a DBA. But I showed up to learn and become familiar with terminology even if most of it was way over my head.

There were a few dozen people there. And I was the only woman. Why? Lack of information about the group? Lack of interest? Other priorities?
