@OldGuy:
 
First job was a lot of phone work using a rotary. We would dial (really crank) the 11 digit long distance number, which invariably was all 8s and 9s. Then we had to dial an 8 digit long distance code, all of which took forever. Then wait for the connect, aaaaaand BUSY! Start over. More than once I pushed the whole thing on the floor.
 
And this was at a major oil company. When we finally got the push button phones we were able to reduce staff. 4951

I call the bathroom the "library".  I'd bring the newspaper or a book with me, now I bring my Kindle. 4951

@Safety44:  With the thick Sunday newspapers, I would sit so long, my legs would go numb!  My dad kept a stack of magazines in his "library".
