I was told at the weekend most of MrHs friends thought I was a legal secretary. I'm an accountant. They've known me for 7, 8 years ? I don't talk much about my work (boring, and they go on enough about theirs for me to not want to return the bore) but apparently, its because I look like one. Odd, as...

I was told at the weekend most of MrHs friends thought I was a legal secretary. I'm an accountant. They've known me for 7, 8 years ?

I don't talk much about my work (boring, and they go on enough about theirs for me to not want to return the bore) but apparently, its because I look like one. Odd, as not even general secretary, but legal secretary - they must look different.

It must be my clothes, or my glasses. anyway, What do you look like you do?

PS Lou, StarglazerLily- I am available to assist you if you like ? could do with a change.

    Hmm, long hair, suntan with slightly reddish nose, board shorts and a singlet - I look like a surf bum at the moment. Handy as that's what I intend to become for the next couple of months whilst jobhunting.

    Well my current occupation is Trophy Wife and I look nothing like whatever the hell one of those is supposed to look like? Perfect nails? Head to toe in designer gear? Toting a "name" bag? High heels? Super white teeth?

    If I'm not in my gym pants, I'm head to toe in Abercombie - baggy jeans, baggy top, hoodie, long unkempt hair, Uggs ... mmmm, I look like one of H's undergrad students not the wife of their Professor! ?

    I have no idea but people generally look suprised when i tell them i am a nurse, so i clearly do not look like one.

    In my uniform i kind of look like someone who works for the police. with the lovely navy scratchy pants and blouses with buttons on the shoulders. ?

    in my normal clothes, usually jeans, tshirt and trainers i possibly look like a kids tv presenter ?

    Out of work I probably look like a student or a slovenly mummy. At work I suspect I look fairly lawyerish - certainly I'm more formal than all my female colleagues in policy.
