lol @ taking commands from a woman :D I can laugh because..well, I can! Actually I was in charge of a crew required to outfit J85's with the proper Q gear for port or starboard engines. One time one of my men could not get a screw into this piece of q-gear as the engine kept rolling away from him as he was trying to lift the screw so it would align right with the q-gear. I sat and watched him for at least 40 minutes struggling with that darn thing. I so easily could have told him to block the wheels or simply push the engine stand up against something so it wouldn't roll away from him but I wanted him to figure it out. I then offered to help, but he declined, so I continued watching him. Turned out he got so frustrated he threw the wrench and lost the socket off the end. We had to shut down the entire shop to find that socket. That upset him even more. I think the icing on the cake though was when I went over to the engine, pushed it against a stand so it wouldn't roll away from me and put in that screw he struggled with for so long and it took me less than one minute. THAT was the icing on the cake for him. ~giggles~ If I would have caught on that he was getting so frustrated I would have held the engine stand myself, but he was one of the many who used to give me s&(& just because I was a woman. After that, he didn't give me as much crap. What I found funny most was the crap they'd give me until they needed to bum a cigarette! I ended up smoking those nasty "Satin" cigarettes because I was spending so much money on them since I was supplying most my crew! LOL they wouldn't get caught smoking a satin, so it cut down on my cost LOTS back then. (Thankfully I quit smoking almost 7 years ago now.)
