Thou shalt have no other gods before the ANSI C standard 1630

There weren't too many females on the manufacturing floor, and most of them were used to her by the time I consulted there. But now that you mention it, I think that every time I saw a woman who'd never met her before encounter here they ALWAYS thought she was an airhead. Didn't help that she was a blonde either, I suppose. They always buttumed she was a secretary. Even worse, they kept buttuming she worked for me, when actually I was working for her.

She often did anyway. She was fond of mens dress shirts, big enough so they weren't tight.

Perhaps why she didn't wear them.

Her desk had a lived in look, but when I was there we were usually out on the manufacturing floor. This was a machine shop and she was programmer on the computers that ran some of the tools. I gather the "phone call, get up and walk out" thing was common.

She had a briefcase, as I recall. It was usually open on a chair to the side of her desk and she actually did take it home at night. And she didn't carry a purse. At lease, I never saw one. Well, except for one time I ran into her "off duty."
