During the summer after my first year of college (early 90s), I did temp work for a company finding comps for mortgage applications. Searching was slow, but printing was even slower. I installed a print spooler so I could get more done and not stress. The higher ups were impressed with my productivity and wanted me to quit school and go full-time, which I declined. Some full time peers were jealous, realized what I did and complained to the IT department. I was let go for installing unauthorized software when the real issue was setting a higher bar for performance.
