Like you, I learned at an early point when teaching not to judge the book...

but I used to always get a kick out of those that did it in reverse.



I'm 5' 8 1/2" , 230 lb with a full beard and rather a "rough" look. At work, people always tell me I'm the least likely to be picked out as the supervisor instead of one of the guys - welder, mechanic, rigger, etc. I've also had people speak to me as though I weren't educated, especially those new to the group. (I have a PhD in chemistry).

I know I'm not a hot blonde (I'm a toasty brunette ), but sometimes the knife cuts both ways.
