I also used to fill out these big green ledger sheets of paper and added up the columns on an adding machine.

Because none of us had computers yet! Only the secretaries had the computers, and they would type things for us. Then we all had to share two computers when they rolled them out. That was two computers for 30 of us.

The cool thing is we would get memos from Ronald Reagan (I worked for the federal government). Obviously it was a copy. He signed his memos with some sort of thick marker with very legible cursive writing.
