Being an idiot isn't a crime yet, though. ;-)
Interesting old job -- how long did you last typing those up?
Not quite two years. OCR was a big thing back then (1976), and the government wanted those documents in a computerized format; lots of small companies were doing conversions. We typed from pages ripped out of the original books, on IBM Selectrics with a special OCR element, at a penny per line. I got very good as a typist doing it.
