What do you work with? (24)

I work with type writers. It’s a small company.

There’s Carl, he’s the Manager slash Sales manager slash Sales…. person.
Or to put it in type writer’s lingo….
There’s Carl, he’s the Manager / Sales manager / Sales…. person.

Carl establishes the business contacts and is then one out doing the actual sales.
Once every month, he will gather the staff for a briefing. During said meetings, we will usually be sat in the coffee room, be offered a Danish each and the choice between instant coffee, lemon or pineapple/mango tea, and hot coco.

Stigvard runs the repairs shop. He’s been working with repairs of type writers, well, almost since the first one came out, it seems. Stigvard will tell you anything you would want to know about repairing a type writer, and often much more than you care about hearing, Most often you don’t want to hear a bit about it. He has a dachshund which he brings in every day, a dog which tries to pose this smug and smart…. pose, but is always barking up the wrong tree.

Benny collects the type writers. It’s a refurbishing business, see. He walks from suburb to suburb, from block to block, door to door, autumn, spring, summer, and winter, but in another order of seasons, and he collects old type writers. These are brought in to Stigvard, who repairs them.

Benny also helps out with the cleaning of type writers. He will remove the keys, polish them with Ajax window polish, then polish he plastic frame until it shines as new.

There’s Blanca. She’s got the hots for Carl, and we know he’s banging her. She doesn’t mind. At least it doesn’t seem she did when I once walked in late an evening to collect my wallet which I had forgotten. She’s the one handling all the paper work.
She refuses to make coffee, as she says it’s a misogynistic mindset to still in this day and age expect the woman always be making the coffee. So Benny’s responsible for the coffee.

Me? I do as little as possible. I sit and write this kind of crap on a computer.

What do you do?

I study mostly, and read everything I can get my hands on.....

I work with pictures...I paint, I dabble, I dribble...3 times a year I get to draw half-naked women in underwear...it's ok...they pay me too...

I work in a small studio making short films, used to paint full time, decided to change media, decided to get broke that is! The studio/house is in a very rural location, isolated, hence i come in here for company at times.

I mostly write, direct and edit each production, spending long periods of time on my own writing and editing and then gathering a crew for a shoot which is always really good fun.

I am putting a new crew together at the moment, am thinking of keeping them together this time, very few people seem to understand my work, so I am either a misguided idiot, or a genius! take your pick.

What do you do?


But people dont work with typrwriters any more so are you living in an alternative universe

I can picture you, one by one arriving the office back door, sat in the coffee room which is on the right hand side as soon as you walk in, and when it's time to get started for the day, when you're all gathered, you do an Olympic opening day parade, alphabetically by nationality.
