Excuse my ignorance but what is a "catty" person? Do they purr and meow?

That's it exactly.  Sometimes scratching and biting too.

Which reminds me ... I think I've lost your mum's number

If they're a good boy and want treats, yes they do.

Fever has broke as of yesterday for the last time hopefully. Tomorrow  marks day one of my journey toward doing somthing in the medical field. I will be starting out wiping ass as a nurse aid.


As a man going into it im thrown by it because of the medical field being predominantly female dominated. I have several freinds who are guys and they are cna'a or nurses and they are all gay. Will I switch sides ? Stay tuned.

I really hope I can get along with all these feminine personalities being from a rougher more blue collar kind of work. I'm expecting them to be very catty and maybe slightly more backstabbing/gossiping going on in the workplace. I figured as long as I do my job well and do the usual "yes, dear", "Yes maam" ass kissing, I should be fine..


I need this to work out, I need my spores to germinate, and I need some good things to happen all around.

My experience working with women is they are tough as nails and generally do not have the time for drama, and nursing is 100% working class.  Most of the gossipy catty shit I had to deal with was from men.  I far prefer working with women when I'm doing things that require teamwork and cooperation to ensure safety on the job site.

I was gonna say. Every female dominated workspace I've been in is a hotbed for gossip, skullduggery, and weaponized incompetence. Nursing might be different, but every job I've done where it could be done by a man or a woman... whew boy.

I have almost exclusively female bosses at my job. One of them STARTED THE DAY by coming in and saying “The manager at ____ location and his wife are probably getting a divorce.”

Literally just airing out someone else’s intimate details for no other reason than taking joy in spreading rumors and bad news.

Imagine having a sit down conversation with one of your managers for like an hour because someone in the higher-ups didn't like the way you said good morning to them. Because she was already previously upset about something her boyfriend said to her. And because she did this, your boss now tells you you're developing a reputation for being difficult because the women in your workplace misinterpret tone when they're upset about something else.

I'll take the all-male workplace any time. I've done both, and while men are harder to get alone with face-to-face, they're much easier to get along with when it comes to accomplishing goals and being able to talk things  out.

I can imagine this, but why would I? I work in an almost all female workplace (I'm one of the only dudes) and...it's probably a bit different than a construction site lol. But on the plus side, not too many dick measuring contests. Plus met my last gf at work (still friendly thank god cuz that would be a mess) and currently totally infatuated with a new colleague.  Kate. Wow. Let me tell you about Kate. She's amazing, so hot! So smart! She's got this kind of demure expression, I get vertigo ... sorry getting off track here

Id imagine it varies based on a lot of things. My unsavory experiences were in a factory setting, for whatever thats worth.

I bet you like it a little unsavory
