Workplace norm


Monday through Friday, 8-5

"Young Lady," I hear

"Shh, while they talk"

Is my input not important?

 

"Young Lady," I hear

"Listen to the men speak."

Can I not speak as well?

 

I try to speak, they interupt.

When will my talk be good enough? 

I do not lack the knowledge

I only lack the gender

As an avid snack enthusiast, I pride myself in the excellent skill of choosing the right snack for the moment. Going on cinematic adventures, and getting lost in capturing novels consume majority of my time. And one last thing, *WARNING* beware of the words you say. I may break out into song!
