Probably not. In my line of work, reputation is key. Even the hint of scandal could affect me professionally. However, I certainly could use one with the amount of paperwork I have to do. ---

> [@CalMeacham](#): > > A sexy secretary would be interesting. Actually, _any_ secretary would be interesting. There was a very brief period at the beginning of my career when I technically had access to a secretary, but I shared her with a dozen other scientists **(and, as far as sexy goes, she was twice my age),** and in the end I never dictated a letter or anything. Now, with everyone attending to their own e-mail and other correspondence, secretaries are pretty much a thing of the past unless you’re a top manager. 😕 -see bolded text- are you saying she was or was not sexy? ---

If I had a secretary of my own, she might as well be sexy, because it’s not like I need a secretary to do secretarial stuff. Around here, we have one secretary per ~two dozen cube rats; she handles our timesheets and travel arrangements, signs us up for training, keeps track of where documents are that are working their way through a chain of multiple signoffs, creates online logs for us to help keep track of our work with, and occasionally files actual paper documents. I’m old enough to remember when typing used to be the mainstay of a secretary’s work, but it’s been a long time now since anyone I know has had a secretary type up anything for them, so one secretary can handle what remains of the secretarial work for a whole crowd of people. ---

I have very direct experience that allows me to tell you that there’s nothing sexy about Hot Yoga. Imagine sweating from every pore in a 100-degree (F) room where everyone and everything, including the carpet, stinks of old sweat. And farting. ---

A hot secrectary would be probably too much stress for me. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/would-you-like-a-sexy-secretary/540713.md?page=1)
