What did you make on an assembly line?
Dashboards, and $13/hr.
I have had some boring ass jobs like cashiering, and I used to play games like pretending the person's checkout total was a restaurant bill and calculating 15% of it for a tip. Or I would calculate their change before I pressed the button. Little shit like that to keep my mind busy. Did you play those sorts of mental games when you were working on the assembly line?
No, I mostly just turned my brain off and tried not to dwell on the pain in my feet.
I got fired after a few months because I showed up 10 minutes late, after a week of 12-hr shifts.
Unrelated, the day before that, I was working on baling cardboard with another white guy, while 3 black coworkers (who were supposed to be helping) were hanging out and telling jokes, surfing phones, etc. I took out my own phone and took a picture for Facebook, to show how miserable my life had become.
The female of the group got in my face, taunting me, calling me Mr. Hero, and a slew of other nonsense. I responded by screeching monkey noises and working around her.
Fuck factories. They're prison cells for the innocent.
