Profile photo for Amy Winn VOTE BLUE

I was working at a TV rental store. Above the store was a law office. The royal wedding of Charles and Diana was about to take place. One of the ladies from the law office came into the TV store and asked if they could borrow a TV so they can watch the wedding. I told her I would bring a TV up for them.

So, I brought the TV to the law office and I saw huge piles of paperwork all over the place. The desks had piles, and they were even on the floor.

I hate clutter!!!

So, I asked one of the girls where all the papers go. She showed me the file numbers and the filing cabinets with the corresponding files. I just started putting the mess away. I read some documents as I went along. I figured out the sequence of the documents and I had every bit of filing done before the wedding was over.

The ladies were thrilled and I was offered a job. I returned the TV to the store and began working in the law office where I stayed for the next 9 years. After reading the documents over and over, I started offering to help anyone who needed to catch up. We used manual typewriters and carbon paper for copies. Not easy !

I didn't even apply for the job or have an interview.
