I'm surprised she was able to plug anything in with her boobs in the way.

I am so glad I don't have to deal with computers like that in my life. I cannot imagine the troubleshooting steps involved with figuring out which of the 73,698 wires you plugged into the wrong place.

I wonder if this is a similar model to the ones used to catalogue certain prisoners?

That's an engineer, not a model.

She was most likely not an engineer. Do you have any evidence to show that she was?

what evidence do you have that she wasn't?

Why do you question her, where you probably would not give it a second thought if this was a man, you misogynistic pos.

I think that anyone wiring like that gets the title of engineer.
