Brings back a memory when I was on summer break and need a summer job. I was too far away but I drove to UCDavis to see what they had available. I had an interview regarding fruit fly genetics. Apparently they were running radiation tests on flies and wanted to see how soon the flies recovered from small amounts of radiation damage in their progeny. At least that's what it sounded like. All I'd have to do is keep the larval stages fed and help sort the hatchlings by some phenotype markers.

While the interview was going on, flies were swirling around the office. It was funny. I was raising wingless fruitflies at my apartment, which were meant to be food for my Siamese Fighting fish. They wanted a person to come on call on short notice. I was just too far away at the time and already on call for another job.
