working girl

Watched an old movie: Working girl.
Well, listen to what they say a working girl should be, and I bet everyone would reconsider the idea of working:

Katherine Parker: So, Tess, a few ground rules. The way I look at it, you are my link with the outside world. People's impression of me starts with you. You're tough when it's warranted, accommodating when you can be, you're accurate, you're punctual, and you never make a promise you can't keep. I'm never on another line, I'm in a meeting. I consider us a team Tess and as such we have a uniform, simple, elegant, impeccable. "Dress shabbily,they notice the dress. Dress impeccably, they notice the woman." Coco Channel.

Well, happily the movie ends with the smart girl's failure and the sweet girl's success. How often does that happen in reality though? I doubt. Anyway, I stick with my dream of becoming a housewife, dressing up nicely and playing with my kids and dogs in the garden on a sunny afternoon…
