Ten more things you may not know about me

Now that everyone knows those other ten things that you didn't used to know about me, how about ten more?

1. I was the oldest non-swimmer at Girl Scout camp two years in a row.
2. My shortest-term paying job was a one-day temp gig taking inventory at a Hill's in State College, PA.
3. I failed badminton in college.
   
4. On my first "real" (post-college) job, I wore a hard hat and steel-toed work boots -- in the days when, to all intents and purposes, steel-toed boots for women did not exist -- and cleaned fuel oil out of glassware with benzene. Outside of the fume hood. Because it was such a messy process and we didn't want to muck up the hood with Bunker C oil.
   
5. I detest beets and cauliflower.
6. At various times I played a pirate, a juror, a sailor, a portrait come to life, a Tower Warder, a British peer, a town drunk, a Japanese nobleman, a medieval courtier, a shepherd, and a Heavy Dragoon Guard on stage. Five points for identifying which one of those roles was not in a Gilbert & Sullivan production. Another five for identifying what production that role was in.
   
7. I'm a professional photographer who supplied 99 photos for a general chemistry textbook.
8. In grade school I sold candy and other snacks from the cafeteria at recess. I got paid in candy bars. I never told my mother how many I was eating every day.
   
9. My first car was a bright red '83 Dodge Charger with black trim. I miss that car, even though the way it handled in snow (this was in upstate New York) was truly frightening.
   
10. I was once bitten on the ankle by a basset hound. As I rode past its home on a bicycle.

OK, that's all. I promise.
