Working in 100% total pitch black for hours at a time gets old. I spent a couple hours every day in absolute total darkness. I can tell you the crawling under a 64 inch wide photographic paper processor to fix a slow leak on a processor tank full of the bleach-fix sucks big time. I did it many times over the years. Or working and repairing the processors at all all sucked. I don't miss that part at all. Digital is a million times easier.
but, but...

...the good ol' days!
