A Champion of Women, and a Defender of Girls

After some polite preliminaries, she excuses herself, and calls out to her aides. Could someone please serve some tea to the gentleman, she says, resuming the conversation where it had broken off.

For Ms. Kim, the 57-year-old police chief, it was an unremarkable moment, one she had repeated countless times. But for a visitor who had been in and out of hundreds of offices in East Asia, seeing a woman served tea by a male subordinate was a conversation-stopping first.

My office boy serves me coffee every morning...just gotta get the right help

When I or visitors need a coffee refil in a meeting, I just ask my staff for it and whoever is closest will get it.. most of my staff are male..

I have even been known to fetch coffee myself, but usually it is on my desk a few minutes after I arrive in the office..

But really as long as the visitors are kept happy, I don't think it is important who brings the coffee.

gomichild - where can I get me one of them office lads? I gotta stop hiring on talent alone and include more emphasis on looks and tight buns..
