       As a 32 year veteran of the elevator business, I would always 
tell those calling me for a "progress" report that they had just set me 
back two hours, and if they called me again, it
       could easily be tomorrow before it was repaired. Saying that to a 
mangement type at AT&T was probably not survivable.

     That brings up a question- were there any women  working as 
Teletype repair people?
