There was an art to being a switchboard operator. They were some of the best multi taskers ever. They connected every call that came into a business manually. It was fascinating to watch them work. Another lost art. Alas and alack

I've been on Tumblr for 15 years, but have never checked to see if Randy Travis autotags here. With an operator ready to connect us to 1982, today's the day to find out.

the fabric situation as regards this dress is very exciting it is at once stiff and feels like nothing sort of a hospital quality & along with the scarf the effect is like a disguise or as though i have just arrived from planet claire and needed to acquire clothing as quickly as possible. needs big sunglasses possibly

some days are like. well youre nauseous in bed until noon and then you take a two hour break to fuck around and worry about your soup beans. and then you have a conversation with a coworker that reignites your belief in like, humanity as a whole as well as your five year plan, which is secret, and unlikely, and getting more real every day. and it's not even four and i still have a headache
