Since everyone loved my IT girl story I thought I should update you guys on some of the more charming "people don't expect me to be in this position" experiences I've had so far:
- Multiple men in other departments have asked if I'm a new bartender or HR hire. Followed by them looking incredibly embarrassed when I say I'm in IT.
- Multiple women in other departments treat me like I'm the single coolest person on the planet simply for existing . Several already request me specifically for help despite not even being here for a month yet. I'm a hit with the ladies.
- Had a very anxious caller say "Thanks, bro. Ma'am. I MEAN THANK YOU MA'AM" as we ended our convo.
- Older employees especially love me. Even if they're usually "difficult" with my (very sweet) coworkers.
- Maintenance guy was about to make a poop joke to one of my coworkers and stopped himself. "I can't say that nasty shit, dude...there's a lady in here"!
- Boss was discussing setting up a very heavy (100-ish lbs) piece of equipment with me. My lead interrupted him to point out that I can't physically lift that. Boss was visibly confused for a solid 10 seconds before going "...Oh!" (All of my male colleagues, including him, are built like brick shithouses)
- We fist bump around here. Was helped to my feet after servicing a machine with a facilities worker. And then he proceeded to give me the gentlest butterfly-kiss of a fist bump I've ever received in my life.
- Colleauge meanwhile gave me such a mighty fist bump it physically pushed me back in my chair and then looked like he was going to die of shame immediately after (didnt even hurt lol)
- In general, the blue collar workers treat me like a princess made of glass. This includes the single butch lesbian on premises that is even shorter and smaller built than I am.
- I started using heart emojis in our teams chat and now all of the IT guys are doing it too.
- Security guard clocked me as a lesbian based on my corporate goth vibe alone.
- Lead (who is 6'5) has "lost" me standing next to him more than once.
Further updates
- A separate maintenance worker has decided to hang around me like a standoffish cat. Sings Mr.Brightside while fixing a cable in our server room. Tonight I found out he has BIG opinions on false nails and what the ideal styles are. I let him pick out my next set and a set for my spouse (he has great taste)
- 19 year old server told a guest "shes SO cool" as I was fixing a register (wah)
- Bartender (also 19-21 ish) twirled her hair and said "is she here to check our systems" when i was doing a department run (HELLO?)
- Was helping a woman in another department and she commented that there's not a ton of girls in IT (true) then read me for filth by following it up with "but you all look like that"
- Set up a printer for HR and you'd think I'm literally Jesus with how they lauded me
- Ive started calling the IT guys "gentleman/king(s)" in chats and am now receiving "yes my lady" and "queen" in reply
