After saying goodbye to a couple of people I know and waving goodbye to a couple of strangers who cared to look my way, I discovered my purpose here that the temp job from hell. I’m a wallflower to the backdoor!
Someone who chooses to observe, instead of experience life.
They know a lot about people, what they are truthfully like, how they actually act when they think no one is paying attention.
Since people have little interest in wallflowers, they usually know a lot about people. The good and the bad.
Wallflowers are not mean, or impolite. They are usually pleasant, and respectful- just shy and/or introverted.
Nontheless, people tend to use the word “wallflower” negatively. What a shame.
An office lady, often abbreviated OL (Japanese: オーエル Ōeru), is a female office worker in Japan who performs generally pink collar tasks such as serving tea and secretarial or clerical work. Like many unmarried Japanese, OLs often live with their parents well into early adulthood. Office ladies are usually full-time permanent staff, although the jobs they do usually have little opportunity for promotion, and there is usually the tacit expectation that they leave their jobs once they get married.
Often nicknamed shokuba no hana or “office flower”, these women suffered discrimination due to the M-Curve.
So does that mean I’m pretty? Not in the least but rather plain looking. Must I wear make-up? Sure! Why not? I must learn to put on a happy face, too! Maybe I’ll put a flower or plant to liven up the place and start bringing in the donuts and bagels, too!
Konichiwa! Ohaiyogozaimasu! Bai! Bai! Sayonara!
