I'm not usually big on memes, but I've liked reading other people's lists of four things, so here's mine.


FOUR JOBS YOU'VE HAD IN YOUR LIFE
1. Sticking labels with cautions like TOXIN! CARCINOGEN! CAUSES BIRTH DEFECTS! onto tiny vials of drug samples in the basement of the US Pharmacopoeia.
2. Vassar College Campus Patrol, usually the midnight-4am shift. Learned to tell time by Orion to within 15 minutes. (Hi, cthulhia!)
3. Administrative Assistant. Good thing I'm a good teacher, because I was a terrible secretary.
4. Freshman Composition Instructor at Fair-to-Middling State University
