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

Musician.

At 102 dB? Yoiks. We are talking about music degradation of
an extreme nature when ear plugs must be worn during a
performance.
