Somehow the subject of Disney came up today and I remembered that back in 1987, someone came around in the breakroom at Tomorrowland Terrace selling I (heart) ER pins with Mickey ears inside the heart. ER (in the Disney terms of the day) meant “Early Release” from your shift. Basically, if it was slower than expected, the leads would come around to see who “wants to ER” thus improving labor expenses. As a huge fan of the ER concept, I of course bought one.

Now, 35 years later, I am hoping I still have it.
