Dedicated to NH State Rep. William Infantine





Impressions from an Office
By Natasha Josefowitz



The family picture is on His desk
-Ah, a solid, responsible family man

The family picture is on Her desk
-Um, her family will come before her work

His desk is cluttered
-He's obviously a hard worker and a busy man

Her desk is cluttered
-She's obviously a disorganized scatterbrain

He is talking with his co-workers
-He must be discussing the latest deal

She is talking with her co-workers
-She must be gossiping

He's not at his desk
-He must be at a meeting

She's not at her desk
-She must be in the ladies room

He's not in the office
-He's meeting customers

She's not in the office
-She must be out shopping

He's having lunch with the boss
-He's on his way up

She's having lunch with the boss
-They must be having an affair

The boss criticized Him
-He'll improve his performance

The boss criticized Her
-She'll be very upset

He got an unfair deal
-Did he get angry?

She got an unfair deal
-Did she cry?

He's getting married
-He'll get more settled

She's getting married
-She'll get pregnant and leave

He's having a baby
-He'll need a raise

She's having a baby
-She'll cost the company money in maternity benefits

He's going on a business trip
-It's good for his career

She's going on a business trip
-What does her husband say?

He's leaving for a better job
-He knows how to recognize a good opportunity

She's leaving for a better job
-Women are not dependable
