The thought of raw dogging work without either my big computer or my pocket computer and just staring ahead sounds pretty wild now. What do you do for those 8 hours? Does she have a book?

If I’m the only one whose thoughts went to Carol Kester‘s desk on the Bob Newhart show, or George Jetson‘s drum set in the Jet Screamer episode, I’m guessing I’m probably one of the older ones on here.
