Good evening brethren---in response to the brother's question as to how to handle this type of incident-----your boss, who is also the owner of the company is square, so as long as he has no issue with you having paperweights, pictures, wearing lapel pins or jewelry, or any other display at your desk, that's all that matters in your office.
When dealing with clients, if you are in sales, and are in the business of acquiring clientele, one may be careful not to put your masonic affiliation out for everyone to see when outside of the office. It's not a matter of being ashamed, it's just that if acquiring cleintele or the sale of your product is the lifeblood of you corporation, your affiliation at that point is not the business of any client---earn and keep the business to ensure your livelihood.
If it comes down to her coming in to your office space or inquiring about something on your desk, she has the right to inquire, but that doesn't mean you have to engage in a long detailed explanation about your love for the craft with someone who's obviously opposed to our view of the craft. Let her have her say, thak her for her opinion----get back to business. You will never convince everyone in america about the goodness of our time honored institution........nor will you be able to convince her of how masonry "makes good men better" amen??
Fraternally, i am----
