How could that be a fantasy? I am thinking back to the job that I had in
high school. It was for an inventory company. We never knew how long our
shifts might be. Sometimes they were 12 hours if you counted travel time. We
could never use the phone while working. Only after we were done, only if
there was time and there usually wasn't and only if we found a pay phone. No
cell phones in those days.
