sticky fingers
Today, one of our interns and I labeled (and are still labeling) like 1600 postcards. My fingers are all dry and stuff. It reminds me of when I used to have a job as a "Pick and Peeler" at a local newspaper where I grew up. We would gather in the evening at the paper printers in this dark room where there was ink dust everywhere. My job was to affix address labels to just the right spot on the paper. I think we got paid based on how many we got out, but I'm not sure. I remember how we used to get snacks and soda late at night out of a candy machine. Most of the women there smoked and had for most of their lives probably. I don't really remember how that all started or when/why it ended. It must have been a summer job. My mom and I did it together, so that made it pretty special

I have weird texture issues. I can't stuff touchy sticky stuff or dry stuff like flour.

I'm like that with foods. My brother is like that with sounds. Hm. I wonder if there's some sort of test you can take to find out what that means...
