And that was in the summer! I had to do a code sending
test at 5wpm at the old FCC field office in New York City
(I've heard the place is now condos).

When the rats started to outnumber the people in that building,
something had to be done....

A shame - 641 Washington Street was a beautiful example of 1920s
Federal office buildings. A family friend who was my inspiration in
joining the Federal workforce worked there most of her career as a
secretary and then a claims examiner for the pre-OSHA Labor
Department - may she rest in peace.

I was in the FCC facilities there only six times - twice for amateur
exams, three times for commercial exams, and once to the office
(which was at the opposite end of the building from the exam rooms)
to pick up travel orders to my first duty post in San Francisco.

I still can't comprehend those old buildings as upscale condos....
