I have accidentally been privy to 2 conversations between women, that I can remember. The first was when I was working for a Bank and was sent down to one of the “Drive-Up” buildings on some job. I had no idea where they were, but somehow the building’s acoustics allowed me to hear one telling the other all about her date the previous night, which got pretty spicy. The second was on a different job. As I was eating lunch by myself, I could hear through the wall, two Keypunch Operators talking about me! One was saying how she thought I would make a good husband. Ha! Forewarned is forearmed! ☺
I’ve never heard the term “dummy up.” Must be regional. These days, it’s hard to be anywhere without a camera, maybe with audio, watching us so we all need to dummy up.

Nothing like a creepy neighbor to spice up the neighborhood.

Throwing caution to the wind, the sole survivor of the Ballard Street Audiophile Club continues to meet every Thursday, Joyce be darned.

ChessPirate, so the obvious question is “Did you end up marrying this woman?” :-)

You don’t hear the juicy stuff without parabolic dish microphones … or so I’ve “heard”.

I wish these strips were larger. Mr. Van Amerongen went to a lot of trouble to draw all this equipment and I can barely see it.
