I was about 19 and painfully shy. It was my first day at an engineering firm as a shorthand typist. To get to my boss's room, which was at the other end of the building, I had to walk past loads of men working at their machines. Of course, as I was new, I was subjected to a load of whistling and saucy comments. I was so embarrassed that I handed my notice in at the end of the week.
Looking back, it might have been fun if I'd stayed!
