Ohhh I know, I'm not a fan of steel toes in the winter! I actually had some concrete tests to do in the winter (WHO pours concrete when it's FREEZING?) and that was pretty terrible because of all the water needed. I tried using plastic gloves overtop of warm gloves but the water always splashed and soaked the warm gloves anyway! So I resorted to just filling HOT HOT water before I left the lab, and then my hands would go from freezing cold metal to nice warm water. We have a lot of contracts with mines up north, and the girl who works in the lab now was testing concrete and some of the guys saw her and felt bad for her out in the cold. The next time she flew up they had built her a little shack to test in, to keep her out of the wind! So not all the guys are bad guys
 The whole office environment here is pretty slack too. I'm in the office now and I still wear jeans every day. Nobody really dresses up at all. Actually, today is doggy day My dog at this moment is sleeping on my desk in front of my monitors lol. Four little dogs showed up today, but I think they're all having some nap time right now

try steel toes in the winter time being 7 months pregnant and your feet are swollen that was me last year.. so glad those days are over with.
i have to go an FE test today on B-scrap so i'll be outside most of the day today. not bad today it's 30 degrees and it's only 7:30 am. so i'm going to get this done before it gets colder. ya some guys just can't handle working with women, or a woman with a mans job, but i can joke with these guys up here and have a good time all day, they just know with me there is always that fine line they know not to cross. You just have to put your foot down and say, i don't like the sexual jokes around me or remarks about my ass or etc. and use the word sexual harrassement and the shut up really fast... But like i said the group of guys up here are very nice and they help me when they see me getting samples outside or with my heavy lifts, or if something breaks down in my lab the mechanic's are here really fast. So yes i love my job, and i like wearing jeans all day, and if you have a bad hair day who cares i have to wear a hard hat anyways.
