Brief history of Ross's work as a "chalky" for the New Zealand Stock Exchange in Wellington between 1982-1984. The reminiscences describe the duties of a "chalky" to write the opening buy and sell quotes on a chalk board for each day's trading, to record the changing quotes and sales, and various administrative tasks for the stock exchange. Ross describes her experiences at work, social activities at the stock exchange, the work climate, and pay. The reminiscences also mention joining the Clerical Workers Union, and a plan to strike for better wages.
