OMGWTFSWE

I was thinking about joining the Society of Women Engineers to get my nerd-girl networking on, and then I saw the Pacific Northwest regional chapter's website. Holy shhhhhhhhhhhhhhwtfomgomgomg


...I guess I should think of it as an opportunity to contribute to the group but it just seems like a giant warning sign. =/

Go, Region J! Fight! Fight! Fight! Engineer! Engineer! Engineer!

When I saw "Region J" plastered across the top, I knew it needed a cheerleading/fight song. Yessss! [fists raised in air]

[I've had such a tune running through my head for a while now, overrunning every decent tune I usually have running through my head. I think I made it up, but it could have been something I absorbed unwittingly from somewhere. Most likely it's a tune I heard somewhere and subconsciously reworked it quite a bit in the futile hope of increasing the hipness molecule content of a "fight song" kind of tune, which is something direly lacking in hipness molecules, unless maybe it can be shuffled into a minor key, or have John Cage or Neil Innes or Charles Mingus or Charles Ives or Captain Beefheart rework it.]

But it could work for Region J even in its present major key. It just needs some words, some engineerin' words, like "reinforced concrete" and "amperage" and "XML." Not to mention GHz. Maybe the whole thing should be 3-letter abbrevs and acronyms.

Damn, I was going to get to sleep early, until this weirdness took over. Sorry, both to you and to me.

What's funny is that right now I can't "hear" the tune, though I'm afraid it will be back in the morning.

The damn tune came back, and I evn started writing lyrics to it:

We are the women engineers of Region J,
And if blah-blah-blah-blah, we will make your day.

Etc. etc. etc.
Blah blah blah


(to be continued...?)
