If someone came into the office a buzzer would sound. One of the jobs I got interested in was stripping negatives. Negatives were done in 'reverse'. The print and graphics were white and the background was an opaque dark muddy brown. We would put the negatives on a huge light box and strip out the little white spots that didn't belong on a page with a dark brown paint-like substance using a very fine tiny brush. From there they would make what they called a 'silver print' that would run through the presses to print flyers, papers, etc. We did a couple of local papers. So when prints were made the little odd spots didn't show on the paper. That was my job as a stripper. LOL Back then I was 38-20-36 so telling people I was a stripper raised a lot of eye brows.

My DD told my GS and GD one time that I used to be a stripper but never explained what the job really was. Every once in a while my dear GD will ask me if I still have the moves. Some day I'll have to explain to them what the job really was about. :lol: :lol:
