I am here in SoCal, too. Man, does that punchcard bring back the horrors. Been in mainframe since ‘81 (relates to my username; also the heyday of my metal band Alexis in ‘81).
I had a boss who was always ragging on me to speed up. Worse if I had to punch up a JCL override card, finally getting it punched up correctly after about 5 tries.

EXACTLY!....I remember the month we converted all the jcl decks into the system and threw the cards away! P-A-R-T-Y T-I-M-E!
