Good Evening
Pat, this sounds like a job I would have enjoyed doing even though the pay was not what I was used to.

Sounds like a fun time snd a fun place to work! Back then people could crack jokes and laugh at work and everything didn't have to be PC.

And we were allowed to laugh at ourselves without offending everyone. I loved the shoe phone!

Sadly if one needed the extra cash, there was no alternative. Good jobs poor pay, well I suppose they just go on strike these days.

Good afternoon
You have led a colorful and well-seasoned life. Those are some memorable temp jobs. It was a time when you did what you had to do to pay the mortgage and put food on the table. My mom is from your generation of female workers who got the job done at a time when females made much less than their male co-workers. I remember her having temp jobs as well until she finally landed a really good job with benefits at Sears & Roebuck in the early 70s. She is still working, but now she is in HR. I admire your and her tenacity.
