what is your occupation, if I may ask?

@candycane My mother was a secretary for decades, but she never got the good paying admin assistant gigs because she refused to learn shorthand and take notes in person.

@NativePortlander1970 i dont either as i miss too many days

@candycane With my mother she claimed taking notes in person was just an excuse by the boss to try to take advantage, her older sister was also a secretary and said she was being ridiculous, that what she saw in movies and tv was super rare, my aunt made about three times more because she knows shorthand and took personal notes, which gave her the good gig at a private law firm.

My mother was grammar school janitor/ engineer or what they like to call it the new name for someone that cleaned the toilets on cleaned up kids puke
