It's Reassuring To Know I Haven't Changed Much Over The Years!

Tweet

I say this because most people will know that I am blogging my diaries from the past. Currently, I have just finished typing up September 1985. Below is an extract from that particular month. You can probably tell I was into "justice in all things" even then, which is why I say that I haven't changed much. How about you? Do you look back and think you have changed...whether it be political views, your personal interactions with others, justice in the workplace, love? Anything really! "25th September 1985 Bl**dy hell, everyone was in a p*ssed off mood today and the reason? Cr*p wages that's what. I'm sick and tired of getting sh*t on by the likes of Marsden and his crew so hopefully us drum* girls can do something about it. What, I don't know. It's no good just one person complaining, we need quite a few going in at once. If that doesn't happen we'll be on more or less the same wage as we are now for evermore. Norm came round later on with WASHED HAIR. It took ages but he cheered me up slightly." If you want to know who Norm was I shall tell you, but only if you ask me! As for me writing to the Citizens Advice Bureau, I cannot for the life of me remember doing it but I must've done, otherwise it wouldn't be in the diary. I also know that our protests for better wages didn't get us anywhere...but there again I didn't leave until mid-1989. The company itself is now extremely small and the printers even had to buy their own equipment to survive. There is certainly no office staff now as they are located down south where there has always been another "hub" if you like. Apparently, according to diary entries from 1985 I could have a jolly good night out for £10! Those were the days! *Drums were full of cards that could be rotated round. Each drum girl had a certain part of the alphabet to deal with (companies) so I thought I'd clear that one up!
