What's it like to be the only woman (or man) in the office?  

If you have ever watched an episode of "Ice Road Truckers" (Sun/History Channel), then you've seen the red hot Lisa Kelly who makes her living behind the wheel of a giant semi-truck navigating over some of the country's most dangerous roads.  She'll do 900 miles on ice roads and highways laid out across frozen lakes.  Lisa says she's been a "tomboy" her entire life and when she gets downtime loves to race motorbikes.  

She doesn't live too far from Sarah Palin in Wasila, Alaska, who she calls a "good representative of what Alaska women are like.  You know, we get out there and get it done."

"Yes," replies the psychiatrist. "It means you are too tense."
