She wears a tie...you wear a kilt. She wears parachute pants .. you wear a jump suit. She wears bangs.... you wear a flattop. This is Houston. You must tell her never to bring a knife to a gunfight.
TJ, you must trump her to deflate her self-worth. Otherwise, your office may fall into chaos, leading all secretaries to throw off their headset shackles and overthrow the Man. If she wears a tie, you wear TWO ties. If she wears a suit, you wear a tuxedo. If she cites Pan-Asian influences for her wardrobe, you cite Australian-American Indian for yours. If all else fails, I suggest you admit defeat and buy her a bowtie for Secretary's Day. At least a bowtie is less threatening...
