Imagine this.

You are working in the office. You try to focus. You cannot. It is too noisy for your comfort.

You look up. You see Jack squabbling, Jacqueline squawking, and Joe screaming.

And then, your eyes are drawn towards Jennifer. You don’t know why. After all, she made no noise.

She sits there actively engaging with herself, with her fingers flying around her keyboard.

That imagery got you smiling.

And maybe… you find Jennifer incredibly charming that day.

You Gain Respect When You Are Free of Fluff

Jennifer is unbelievably quiet. The cricket beside her will enjoy all the airtime.

I enjoy speaking to Jen. She is witty, well-read, and always ready for a wicked laugh.

That is Pantry Jen. Or Lunchtime Jen.

She shows a different face when she is working. Jen diffuses an aura of seriousness that makes all jester types scamper away from her desk.
