:D I now have the most awesome job in this entire town...
Every Friday, I have a job washing dishes at a local restaurant!
It pays 10 dollars a night, and free food during breaks (and it's good food)

(Took me like 10 minutes to make 'colon capital D' stop looking like :D)

I volunteered, and the owner said he would pay me still, and I need money to get stuff. everything costs money... god we need open source food that we can edit and stuff and make it free for ourselves and-- oh.

$10 a night? I'd ask for minimum wage by the hour at least, $10 won't even buy a movie ticket these days. :popcorn:

You didn't get a job, you sold yourself into slavery... :(

Unless you're too young to be legally employed, which explains the situation but doesn't make it much better.

Umm, congrats?

Hey, has anyone seen unemployment rates lately? It's not much, but its something, and its free meals.

I used to work saturdays doing tune-ups and oil changes on Saturdays during the day in over 100 degree ambient heat (Before a hot car was over my head) for nothing but lunch, and to have the garage any sunday I wanted to work on my car. I got free oil, belts, hoses, wipers, other fluids and lubricants. It was a great arrangement, and I rebuilt the entire front-end of my 1970 monte carlo with it on professional hydraulic lifts, with a full array of power and pneumatic tools, instead of a floor jack and laying flat on my back. Short time stop-gap jobs like this are great, but they cannot sustain.

Congrats on your job!

$10 a night is slavery. Well as long as you are happy and legal.

Open-source doesn't mean it is free to make, its not magic or some miracle. Takes time and effort of different developers, which is a resource.

Yes, changes require effort; replication does not. The inability to replicate physical objects cheaply breaks the analogy with digital data structures.

But actually.. Food is already 'Open-Source'..
You can go and make any kind of dish if you know how (recipe)

Of course if you buy that food, it will cost money..

But if you download open-source software, it also in the end cost you money (your Internet traffic) even if it is insignificant.

yeah.. unless you're under the working age (usually 16 or so), or only working for an hour and a half a night, thats illegal most countries. For instance, minimum wage here is about 7$/hr.

Still, open-source doesn't mean free of charge it means free as in free speech.

this is exactly what I was trying to say, especially from my last post.

Congrats dude. <--- No sarcasm

I did that same kind of thing in 1982 when I went back to Western Australia on my own (I was 21)

There was NO work about then so I took a job washing dishes in a high street walk in restaurant (Hay Street Mall to any Perthians reading this). I had to pretend I was 16 which was just about the only time I was grateful that I'm a shortarse. (Vertically challenged to the PC brigade)

It was hard (hot) work but it was a pay cheque Jack !!

Later on, back in UK (1985) I passed my semi truck licence but there were no jobs.. Same old story... No job- No experience... No experience - No job. So I worked a solid month holiday relieving for NOTHING.

The unions went mental

But I got the job. The furore washed under the bridge.... And I'm still trucking 23 years later with a "Cream-Boy" job. ( Night trunker trucker.. All I do is go to our own depots.. open the rear doors and back on the bay.. Then go to the canteen. 1 hour later I pull off the bay, close the doors and go home).

I've washed dishes, delivered newspapers, swept floors, cleaned toilets etc. etc. etc.
(I am not even going to talk about some of the "nice" jobs I had).

Sometimes, you have to do what you have to do!

I say it is character building; good for you and good luck.

I would check the Ohio : Division of Industrial Compliance and Labor : Bureau of Labor & Worker Safety (http://www.com.ohio.gov/laws/) site as to whether this $10 an night employment is actually legal since the OP indicated Ohio as the location.

He also mentioned that he volunteered. Not sure how that factors in.

IANAL. I doubt it unless the place the worker "volunteered" for is a bona fide non profit.
