Crappiest job you ever had...

[SoCalDem]

For me it was something straight out of a Lucy show..sort of.. I worked at hallmark cards.. I am my "partner" sat facing each other as this "arm thingie with a glue bottle on the end" raised and lowered at a measured rate.. we would have to grab cards to our side and place it under the glue thingie and then attach the glitter, feathers,paper inserts..whatever to the card and pass it on ...BEFORE the glue thingie came down again...


and the sadistic PIC (person in charge) could speed up or slow down the "line" depending on the capabilities of the "team".. My partner was much faster when I first started, so I usually went home thoroughly glued..sparkled and tremendously annoyed..

ps.. sorry to any of you who bought a messed up Hallmark card back in 1969.. It was probably one I made.. although, I think a lot of mine ended up in the reject store downstairs in the Hallmark plant :)
