Since my mom worked for our school district, she had contacts with several people and one summer I got a job putting new desks together in elementary schools. It pretty much consisted of me and two other guys, getting in the "silver bullet" truck (with only two seatbelts) loading it with 75 boxes of new desks, then going to a school on our list and putting them together. It was mindless, we took long breaks and long lunches and always managed to impress our supervisor with how far ahead of schedule we were. I think we probably put together about 2000 desks and got paid $11 an hour as a sophomore in high school and never had to work past 4pm or on weekends. Not too shabby. A "Silver Bullet," as the full time staff called them, were unpainted GMC Stepvans from the 80's. http://www.flickr.com/photos/ezraw/123482170/ ...as a side note, once I found a good picture to use, I noticed the comment on this one and wondered why on earth there is a Flickr group for "Bread and Snack Food Trucks" Your story about enjoying being a field worker reminds me of a mindless summer job I had that actually turned out to be pretty cool.

They made us wear jeans. We were expressly prohibited from wearing shorts, and couldn't even wear t-shirts. We had to wear thick ass collared polo shirts too for some reason. So, like I said, a summer in hell. Exactly my point, Keithage. They made us wear jeans. We were expressly prohibited from wearing shorts, and couldn’t even wear t-shirts.

It turned out it wasn't spraying, because unlike normal paint this particular can had become a gelatinous mass of ooze too thick to spray through the nozzle, a fact I discovered as thick globs of paint covered me, peterson and the entire rear end of our truck.
