The Unexpected

Posted on 15/05/2025 by Daniel

I spent the day at the printers and was expecting to do some finishing work and I did get some blocking done but then the staple/fold and cut machine broke. So from about 10.30am to 3pm we were taking sections apart, fitting canalised parts to it, refitting and testing. Importantly I handed Jukes the relevant tools and looked respectful and diligently washed my hands when he had fixed it all so I could fold the booklets without leaving behind fingerprint marks. When his dad said he didn’t know anything about electronics i said, well if that is not knowing then I am in kindergarten.
