[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let's say you didn't know what time it was. There was a phone number you could call to give you the accurate time: "At the tone the time will be [beeep] 8:26 PM" I think there was maybe another number for the weather. Anyone remember this? [/quote] 683-4111 was the number in my town. Time and Temperature.[/quote] In Northern Va, weather was WE6+any 4 digits! I had a front desk receptionist desk in a local municipal office with multiple (3) phone lines. If I needed to make a personal call that might run for a few minutes, I’d call the weather number, place it on hold on both lines. The recording ran on a loop. Then I could make my outgoing call uninterrupted. It was a horrible job and no - I really had no back-ups! Wasn’t allowed to leave the desk except for bathroom breaks and a very brief lunch. Usually had to call around to find someone so I could run to the bathroom.[/quote]
