Wait a minute, my mother was a bookkeeper and she was neither a sour and dried up or a spinster. She was a comptometer operator, who spent her days correcting the tally sheets for salesmen who could neither add nor subtract. Only after correcting the men’s mistakes, could she get on with the company books.
...and yes she had lots of problems with the men she worked for. The worst one called her into his office and exposed himself to her. She didn’t file a complaint, she just cleaned out her desk and went home.
Uh...I can assure you that I was not thinking about your mother...
