Cheyenne-2.3.10-Positive Exposure

This was my 3rd visit. 2nd for Positive Exposure.

Today, Violet, Parker, Ruby T. and I shared a Taxi to go to Positive Exposure. We left school and went to the Deli to get snacks, then got in a taxi and we were on our way. I didn’t know exactly what we were doing but Violet had said something about stuffing envelopes. When we got there, we were bombarded with Rick’s dog, Buster. We sat down at a table and Miche, Violet’s mom, greeted us with our assignment. We were given a large metal file bin of Thank You letters, cards, invitations, certificates, and other letters. Miche also gave us labels, pens, sharpies, labels and two bags to put the envelopes that did not have cards and vice versa. It took us a while to do all the letters, we did about 150 cards. When we first started we each did one and put it in the pile. It was going to slow that we formed a production line instead. I took out the mail, and sorted the mismatched from the matched cards and envelopes, then put the cards with their matching envelopes into a pile, then Parker, Ruby and Violet wrote on the date and return address on the plastic sleeves. Afterwards we took a break and played with Buster. Rick actually was not at the apartment, but we met someone named Trishka who helped us to understand the directions and was there along with Miche to answer our questions. After taking a short break, we folded some boxes and wrapped them in plastic tape to take them out for recycling.

I didn’t learn as much in this visit as the first with Positive Exposure, but it was fun. I did learn that working in a Production Line is so much easier than each person doing the whole process. Similar to the Slaughterhouse, though not nearly as dangerous and gross. Before I was sorting the mail, each of us would have to pick through it to find a card with it’s envelope mate. I don’t have a picture for this post but I do for the next one!
