While some observers suggest the shift is no big deal, others say they are worried about what U of A president Indira Samarasekera calls a "demographic bomb" working its way through the system. The problem is no one seems entirely sure what to do about it.
"The presidents of the major universities are very concerned we are not attracting young men in the numbers we should," Samarasekera says.
"I got asked recently about special programs to get more women CEOs, and my response was let’s not worry about that because that will come in due course. The bigger worry is that we’ll wake up in 20 years and we will not have the benefit of enough male talent at the heads of companies and elsewhere." #indranooyi

I'm at work, so I can't watch the video, but I read this as 70% of the times she's brought in as a speaker, she's being asked to speak about being A Woman In Business, whereas a man would be asked to speak about...business.

But I agree that that was a stupid thing for the company to have done. #indranooyi

I just checked and the only legal job in the entire multinational company is in Egypt and requires fluency in Arabic. Damn it. #indranooyi

Honestly, I'm not above asking for help, but as it's mostly family members that are available, it's always more trouble than it's worth to have them in the kitchen (I'm looking at you, Mom), so I do as much as I can before Thursday, and then start at 8 a.m. or so with the turkey and anything that can't be pre-made.
It turns out well, and I just enjoy being able to do something nice for everyone.

I also don't clean because it's someone else's kitchen and I hate it when I don't know where everything goes.
Every now and then someone tries to make me do something and it's weird. They think I'm a normal person who likes to cook or do domestic things. I manage to palm it off on someone else.

Now I am a shirker, because I live 3000 miles away. My boyfriend's mother doesn't even bake pies! (They are Costco) Also, she (and his other Italian female relatives) are really critical of my cooking, so I'm just showing up. Screw them. Also, my boyfriend never helps or is expected to help. He had never even been grocery shopping until I moved out of the dorms and took him along. He is like KING shirker.
One day I will take over Thanksgiving and make my children slave with me in the kitchen. I'm kinda already the nazi of my family back East's holiday party, with my mom stepping into backup position and me being how she used to be when I was a kid. If anyone knows any great Victorian themed recipes that are suitable for vegetarians (or not) let me know!

I hate cleaning.
But this year, I'm doing almost all the cooking, because I've found I kinda enjoy it and my pops is getting out of the hospital prematurely because he's as stubborn as a mule, so my mom will be spending the holiday at his beck and call (more than usual). My sis may be spending the time with her new hubby's family (as she should), so it's just Mom, Dad and me.
Hey, any LA folk that are TG Orphans, feel free to drop by for a plate of good home cookin'.
