I haven't found the negative for this one to see if I can get a better print, but I'm blogging it anyway because it's a good example of what an office job looked like in 1963. It appears mom was doing some transcription in this action shot, with that dictaphone headset hanging off her ears.
Typewriter, Rolodex, pop-up address book, rotary phone – you just don't see this stuff anymore.
Ironically, according to mom's photo album, this was a "before" shot of her workplace before it was remodeled. The "after" shots still look just as dated, of course.
