He had keys to access the building after hours and such and had to do things like lock up rooms with animals so that the cleaning staff couldn't get in and fuck up the ongoing experiments, and that he was basically paid to get his degree--although not much. He still worked side jobs for general living expenses. --- ... Copied to Clipboard! |
