Yup, pretty much the same here in BC I am finishing second year of my CSC degree and in my classes of around 120 there was one cute girl and only a handful of others. Of course I may be a little bitter cause I just moved back from Whister where it is like 7 guys to 1 girl, to UVIC where it is supposed to be 3 girls to every dude, and I get stuck in the ONLY res on the campus with more guys than girls (2 to 1). Maybe I should switch to psycology or education I hear they are like 90% girls.... hmmmmmm Oh well I think that girls are not in computer science because not only have they been convinced that they can't do it, but all the guys will do it for them, all they have to do is ask and lots of dudes will jump at the idea of helping a girl. So now the girls don't do their homework, don't learn anything, fail their first midterm and quit the program. Sucks but true.
I know what you mean, I am supposed to work 35 hour weeks, though I don't really take lunch, so it is closer to 40 hours that I sit at my desk, but that certainly does not mean that that is all productive cause I always finish the work handed to me in less than half the time I am assigned. My boss sits next to me and I am always asking him for more work, and it's crazy cause he's always like, "ummm, just a sec, I'll find some" an hour or two later I get another 15 min assignment. This is not totally typical of all day, for instance the next week is going to be busy. But the last week not much has been done. (Lots of/. reading though.)
