This is why Europeans, especially the French, love soccer, and why Americans hate soccer.
As did I. What a PITA as the cards would load slow and if you made one tiny mistake, the card was ruined and you had to start over again. Thankfully, later on, they upgraded the keypunch machines to where you could enter the line electronically and correct any errors, then press "punch" and it would punch the card and feed the next blank quickly. Of course, after I left, they went to on-line terminals. No more punch cards needed.
For the DOS/VS machine it was strictly batch and it was cool to see how the system would read cards individually (in the "BG" partition) and in "spurts." Of course, when we implemented VSE/Power, it read the entire card file in one swoop, placing it on the "reader" queue to be executed.
I was one of the student operators for my Univ's "Administrative" Data Processing dept (that did all the business stuff - as opposed to the Academic mainframe dept. that did the educational "number crunching" and class work stuff). 1st shift (8a - 5p) was for all the all the University's general production work (payroll, Univ. Registration systems, Grade collection and reporting, etc. etc.). The 2nd shift (the one I worked - 5p - 12mid) was all the processing for the Univ. Library (catalog cards, book notices, etc, etc.). Printing Catalog cards and some of the sheets was interesting as we had to change the text train on the IBM 3203 printer to the "ALA" library text train cartridge (only two character sets) so it took more time to print things. You had better ensure you aligned it right! Shortly after I left, the Univ. bought the library its own IBM 4331 (and the ADP center a 4341). It does all the library processing, and they moved more of the "regular production" work onto the 2nd shift as it was getting way too large to limit it to 1st shift. The 3rd shift (12mid - 8a) was strictly for processing "Alumni" related things (contribution reporting, etc.). Only one operator at a time. And that was because (as I discovered later) the Alumni processing was the most confidential thing the center processed. You'd think it was the "Payroll" or the "Registration/grade databases" but nope! Alumni contributions were the most confidential thing they handled.
At my last Mainframe job, we were also doing CICS/DB2, but we were using a CICS facilitaor/writer called "TELON." It helped you write things like tabled data in your CICS Maps, etc. At my "next to last" mainframe job, it was CICS without TELON and with IMS/DB DC. The "DB" part, at least.

I'm not sure those are soccer players. I think those are cyclists.

Keep talking about retirement. I just retired last March and I'm taking notes.
It wasn't in front of a parts store, but I did overhaul a ford c6 automatic transmission in a Best Western parking lot once. Fredericksburg Tx
fake news……no C6 ever needed overhauling, just change the fluid every 250,000 miles and keep going…..
This is why you do band squats and not band leg extensions.
Well it did still have reverse
He must have scared the communist losers that are running for our borders.
The doctor asked me the other day if I was getting any exercise. I replied Yes, I run to the pisser every morning!...
I changed the lifters on my 302 Ford, in a vacant lot in Seattle. Was on my way to Alaska for a few weeks. What went wrong is that when I rebuilt the engine, I pre-lubed the hydraulic lifters with my assembly oil. That oil was 50% STP. The lifters would not compress correctly, and probably on startup, slightly changed the cam lobe ramp. Took six months for the lifters to start making noise.
So after swapping the lifters only, I had about six more months before it was time to change the cam and the lifters. But at least I was off to Alaska, drove both ways on the Alcan.

One great thing about it is there’s always someone willing to help you bleed your brakes.
I had to change my alarm ringtone. On the rare occasion I had to use it,
I would wake up to a bit of anxiety every time I heard it.
Had to cook for myself tonight.
I’m not mad about it either.

Would you like some macaroni with your pepper?
I do almost the same thing.
Also, the ketchup I dip fries in looks like that and may have a healthy dose of tabasco on it.
