Betty Debbie and I both noticed that the books we reviewed this week had secretaries as heroines. While not uncommon in Neelsdom, this occupation sticks fairly closely to cartoon skills:
- Shorthand typist
- File clerking
- Coffee/Tea bringer
- Schedule (you BET I'm saying it SHED-yule in my head) juggling
- Heading blonde, brassy Mevrouws and Missus-es off at the pass
During jury duty I noticed that the 'clerk' sat at a computer and looked like she was playing tetris. She was not typing. They were recording everything and then someone else would type it all out later.
ReplyDeleteI was totally paying attention to every detail of the case while noticing these things.
