May 2013

like field work (which I've done)

like washing dishes (which I've done)

like fast food (which I've done)

like small electronics factory work (which I've done)

like computer programming (which I;ve done)

My family has been in the midwest since the 1850s, yet I've never become an American, because I've done all the jobs 'Americans wont do'

(and so did all of my classmates, in the college town I grew up in, they may not have done all of them, but all did some of them)
