12. I, too, was inconvenienced from time to time when I was a showbiz

person back in the 60s and 70s, but I was glad to have them tie into the mains for me, it was one less thing I had to do, even if it took a bite out of the fee for the show and meant I had to wait an hour or so for one to turn up.

However, I appreciated the 40 hour week, paid holidays, paid vacations, and (at that time) company health insurance I had at my day jobs enough that I didn't mind the wait or the fee.

It's all in how you look at it. How many vacations and holidays have that $128 paid for? Would you really rather work 16 hours a day for the privilege of pushing a plug into a socket?
