As a contractor and working for contractors I have had the priviledge of working in lots of different places. I thought it might make for fun discussion to ask what are some of the oddest or most interesting places you have worked in.
I bring this up because I just finished up a small project at the VA in the animal research facility. I've been around plenty of rats in my life, mostly in human form disguising themselves as friends and brethren, but I was surrounded by mice and rats all week long. I even found myself talking to them by weeks end. My sinuses were acting up, a good thing for once, so I didn't smell anything until yesterday when they cleared up.
They were doing several studies such as nicotine, skin cancer, etc. They used hairless mice for skin cancer research by placing them in tanning beds.
