42 that?
43 A. Yes.

45 Q. "While I was working at the store in Colchester, I was not
46 on the phone at home. Often I was required to work long
47 after my shift was meant to finish, since I was generally
48 working on a 'close' shift. Regularly, I would not finish
49 until 3.00 or 4.00 in the morning or even 6.00 or 7.00."
50 Do you adhere to that statement?
51 A. Yes.
