Once more: >I TRIED to read a book... Just to beat a dead horse... I was playing piano in a nice restaurant last week when this guy at the table in front of the piano makes a call. He seemed to go to a great deal of trouble to make sure that everyone in the restaurant understood how important his work was. This was around 9:30 on a Friday evening with a lovely dinner guest at his table. Time to get off work and move on to more important business if you ask me! -- Doug
