Job: Prepping documents to be put in a sheet-fed scanner. (Mostly taking staples out and cutting manila folders; also involves cutting things that are bigger than 8.5x11, taping things to 8.5x11 paper that are smaller than postcard-size, ensuring no metal tabs exist, things like that.) $9/hr, 40 hrs/week, started late May, ending mid August (start of school).
It's okay. The work itself is boring, of course. However, I don't have to deal with customers like in my previous retail jobs, low-stress, and it's straightforward enough that I can brain-sleep while working.

The job is 45 minutes away but close to my dad's workplace so we can carpool if need be. It's 9-5 MTWRF so I get my weekends, and hours are very flexible. I can listen to my iPod or chat with fellow staple-pullers, and I might soon get the privilege to actually scan the documents, or move up to the air-conditioned front room where they do data entry/confirmation .. haha. It gets warm in the warehouse where I'm working - we average 87 degrees - but there are windows so I can see the outside (although they don't open). I can blast "Mambo #8" from Office Space when I'm stuck in traffic jams, too
I think if I was there more than a few months, or if this was my full-time job forevermore, I'd go nuts .. but as it is it's all good.
