My first boss, in the early '90s, used to regale us of stories of "work used 
to be". Smoking rooms, a "shine boy" for your shoes, coffee carts going from 
office to office. No voicemail, there were "the girls" in an office behind 
the front desk that wrote down messages and put them up at the front desk.

Odd to think that he was about the same age I am now.
