- Head Cashier – Dad had a small supermarket. I was a cashier before age twelve. In those days you figured out the tax and change yourself. Now what happens when the cashier forgets to press the button that figures the change? A manager has to come with a calculator.
- Income Tax Preparer – I worked one season for a major company – never again. Tried it from home for a while, but folks make you crazy with phone calls, so I gave it up.
- Saleslady – I’ve sold it all: Fuller Brushes, costume jewelry, vitamins and health products, ad space, booths at exhibitions, custom-made business fixtures and electronics.
- Secretary – Our floppy disks were actually floppy.

I remember the floppy discs too – that was a loooong time ago! I actually had to change out huge reels (like they have for movie theatres) for back up tapes on a nightly basis. I think I am ancient.

I remember floppy disks too – but it’s hard to remember what work was like before email. I faxed everything!

Hi blogjem,
thanks for visiting my blog! I love your photography, these church and graveyard ones are so atmospheric in black and white.
