Managers Minus Computers

I've worked for several newspapers during my brief time on this planet. I first worked for The Daily Herald in a small Southwestern town. That was the first newspaper I ever worked for. It was a Scripps League publication.
I was a zone manager and had a fair bit of responsibility--hiring carriers, firing carriers who didn't perform well, hiring area representatives who typically supervise the carriers and also who do some carrier hiring of their own, running zone meetings, customer service (which was paramount) promoting new subscriptions and collecting monthly bills then submitting those reports.
And that list is incomplete. Because this was years and years ago and now I've forgotten the entire gamut of what I used to do, that far back. But as I recall, it was a lot. A lot of responsibility for the amount of pay that I took home, anyway.
I had to do a lot of phone contact and some mailing out of letters and forms and I think nowadays they likely have a lot of email communication and document scanning in that office whereas when I worked there, I didn't even have a computer console of my own. Man--looking back, that's hard to believe, now.
