My First Seven Jobs Or So — Part Two: Plastic Bag Cutter, Oh, The Globalization
Our garage cried for a startup.
We just moved into our apartment.
Built in a coop style at the dawn of globalization.
With our neighbours in the great small city of Szolnok, Hungary.
Why plastic bag cutter?

Why plastic bag cutter?
One of our relatives made a side business. Plus me and my brothers desperate for extra cash. For our music gear, transport to gigs and whatnot and bang there we sat.
Remember, the late ’80s to early ’90s?
Also, Hungary rushed to get up to speed with everything. Including retail and shopping experience.
And what sizzles more than shopping with a nice non-transparent plastic shopping bag, huh?

We made no pictures.

The biggest impression the job made on me?
My first experiment with an utterly repetitive job where I tried to make something out of it.
Thought of it like a flow experience.
Way before reading about the flow idea.
And it worked.
The job wasn’t bank robbery.
Far from it, but I had time.
