    Stacked wood in a factory for 5$/day for my first summer job. Wanted to buy a speaker amp.

    My mom used to work at Xerox, and my dad still does, so that's how I got the job.
    This job is a bit easier than stacking wood, and pays a lot better. While this print job is printing I get to walk around outside.

    My first summer job was going to fast food restaurants after hours and cleaning grease off the ceilings with a chemical sprayer. Often went til 4AM. Honestly menial jobs can be kinda fun when you get into a flow and let your mind wander.

    Yeah, before this I worked at a sub shop, that was pretty good too, but this is 40 hours a week and with better pay, so more money for me. Which is good, I am eyeing a few watches that I don't yet have money for. And audio stuff. And spending money for college.

    "At least now I'll have money". Yeah, if the printers pass the test, you can print your own!

    I could print a lot of money, there is probably like 80 printers in here, and the slow one prints at 32 pages per min.

    Do the Steve Jobs, steal their OS and sell it as your invention.

    More money...

    Xerox has nothing good left to steal. Everyone already stole it all.

    Are you in Rochester NY? My father in law used to work at Xerox in their prime.

    Cherish your summer breaks! Take the time to savor a couple of months to chill. I miss it and fondly remember that period of my life. Hunt for good music and good women!

    Many decades ago, a friend of mine worked for xerox. His job was to take stuff apart, figure out how to put it together again... and then write the maintenance manual. :)
