I guess Olivia is the receptionist yesterday's Vintage Set needed. Is Huwbot about to start a new theme in his picks?
"As you can see, in the last four decades, the phones are now mobile, the typewriters are now computers, the books are now flowers, and the secretaries now show up for work. She can't actually do much, since the bones in her wrists are all fused, but at least her chair's not empty.
Grafeiophiles are currently having a field day
(I made that term up, if you google it you will get no results. The word 'grafeio' is the romanised translation of the Greek word for office)

“Also we’ve had to quite drastically downsize.”
From a typewriter to a laptop. In more progress, without stamp!

“And we’ve had to resort to illegal child labor.”

“But it’s alright because we’ve called her an unpaid intern; if she’s not technically an employee we’re not breaking employment law!”
It's so effective.
it should not be called "desk" it should be called "desk and chair" or "(insert name of this lego friends character here)'s desk"
Really good for a polybag. It contains a lot of relevant accessories, a figure to use them and a desk that has some color banding in the legs. The chair is standard for minidolls from the time (as they can't sit down like minifigs can). Overall one of the better polybags in terms of budget use if you ask me.

Then you're assuming she's not just a temp brought in because the real secretary hasn't shown up in 38 years.
