4 things

A) Four jobs I have had :
1. mcdonald's for 3 years: 10th grade through my first year in college. the last position i held there was swing-shift manager. i knew how to do everything in the store.
2. day camp counselor for ymca's camp optimist, in allendale michigan. i was also one of the camp bus drivers. that is how i learned to drive a stick.
3. manager for gap kids.
4. lab technician for a little company in essex junction, vt--i purified coagulation enzymes from human plasma and cow blood. have you ever seen 15 liters of fresh, warm blood before? oddly, one of those old delaval cream separators is perfect for separating the red blood cells from the plasma.
