A commuter's daydream leads from RCA dismissal to a better job

Two friends who live together in Eagle Rock and both worked at RCA were at Neville's home for dinner last Sunday night, and one of them, who had been unexpectedly fired from RCA and afterwards found a better job at Unico downtown, realised while asking Neville a question that he had caused it himself by daydreaming, as they commuted the Santa Ana Freeway, of turning off towards downtown L.A.
