Silence Please
If there is one group of workers across the Western world who will be glad that Christmas is over, that group is shop workers.
It is not that they like to complain. They realize that they are going to be rushed off their feet at Christmas. They know that their employers need happy customers to make their profits that pay their wages. But there is one thing about working in a shop over Christmas that is too bad to tolerate.

TEXT A
In 1977, the group Women Office Workers held a contest for secretaries, inviting them to name the " most ridiculous personal errand" they’d ever run. As Lynn Peril tells it in "Swimming in the Steno Pool," her light, wry history of the secretarial profession, the winner was a woman whose boss asked her to take pictures of him before, while and after he shaved off his moustache. The runner-up’s task was to pick up her boss’s wife and newborn baby from the hospital.
This is the profession’s image problem: Secretaries have to either cater to their bosses in loopy ways or contend with the idea that they might. Peril, a longtime secretary herself, is frank about how women’s clerical dominance has both helped and hindered them. Her account gives secretaries their due while making clear why they posed a problem for the equal rights movement, and vice versa.
In the late 19th century, when wo

C. To be chased in the "dandy game" of scuttle.
