Thanks Smillersms me too, love reading everyone's posts. Now that you mention office, when I started my 17 years at the ceramic gift factory, I was teaching take home painters how to paint our wares (I had a 6 week crash course on painting there myself) I had 100 painters to watch over, then learned to load and unload the kilns, how to assemble the wares, and eventually take calls from customers placing orders. At the time it was all hand written, eventually, I started tallying the orders and making what we needed to fill them. Then that became part of my job cause I got shipping down from 4 weeks to one week, which was how long it took from start to finish to make an item. Then after 2 or 3 years we went to a computer system, so I now took orders, imput checked, verified payment history, printed and pulled then packed and invoiced it all. What times those were. And still managed the 100 painters and passed out in house orders to a staff of 50. Silk screening later replaced the take home staff and 3 people were hired to take over some my work load, but I was still very much a part of all that and became the only purchase orderer, reciever, computer imputter to boot, but I truly loved the job and all the employees, we were small enough to be like one big happy family, often attending each others parties for kids and holidays. I still remember most of them tho I haven't heard or seen them in 18 years.
