Sorry, I don't bother worrying how long I should wait before answering

post. This afternoon, I checked my messages and found yours was there
and had been for twenty minutes, taking your word for it.

I came home from work just now, and here's your message, seven hours
old.

Work was fun, BTW, and involved earplugs.

My take on this is that you either operate a jackhammer or
work at a shooting range. Good thing you have those
earplugs.

No, and no. Yes, I need those earplugs: the work environment peaks at
102 dB.

Car-assembly plant? Jet engine test facility? Clown at kids'
birthday parties?
