As this recent three-day weekend came and went, I attended barbeque after barbeque, resuming my usual bibulous behavior and weekend shenanigans. But in honor of Labor Day, I also reflected on past jobs I've had… Jobs that have taken me from the far reaches of pizza dough prep and spinning, to the intricate dissections of lab rats in studying the effects of lead on osteoporosis… Jobs that have supplemented my rockstar lifestyle, scholarly pursuits and desire to do something meaningful in the world, on minimum wage plus tips…
Jobs that have, thankfully, led me here.
