In one job I had to type the telexed financial returns to parent company because I was the only person who had used an ASR33 before and could get the the columns of figures lined up [*]. Learned where the (financial) bodies were buried from doing that.

[*] Justified to the right of course, and if they weren't the receiving finance people couldn't handle them 😗

You just footnoted a post- i think I’m in love.


I think we should create a sub forum here.

I'll be the leader because I trained on a Friden Flexowriter (SPD1 for cards), and then graduated to one of the modern plastic case ones that did paper tape.

The later generations will have no idea of the fun you could get up to with a bucket of chads.

And once tipped into the back of a workmates trousers, it took days to get rid of them 😁.

[*] The later generation are thinking "WTF are they talking about?"

You could punch your own cards? Luxury! We had to write out paper coding sheets and wait 3 days to get the cards back.

When all of my work was wet photography in my old life, we would always have a 1 week minimum on turn around time for rush deliverables. Now people call us 2 hours after a shoot and ask why we haven’t sent them their pictures....ugh!
Why is everyone in such a rush these days (I have officially just used my first old-man line)

And the cards had more typos than if I just did them my own self.
