I always wanted to mess with chemicals, a scientist spending my day experimenting and hunting for clues. I was terrible at school though, never paid attention to the teacher and missed out on any opportunity to spend time in the laboratory. I was “informally” excluded at 16 and that was that.
Now that I’m old and ugly enough nothing can stop me.
Here’s one of the lab kits I really wanted at school over 37 years ago…where would I be now?
