Gareth MacDonald was a guy who worked at the gas station. He used to be a scientist but he quit when his 10th experiment in a row blew up in his face. He was working on a formula to make pigs grow an extra piece on their body so they could stay alive while part of them was turned into bacon. He cared for animals deeply, but he cared for bacon more. He tried it on the pig but it actually grew and extra leg that the pig used to kick Gareth into next week. He wasn’t making very good pay at FormulaCreators anyway, so he quit.
He never went to high school but he had a brilliant mind on how to mix chemicals, so he tried to get another job in that field. Unfortunately, since he didn’t have a diploma, he didn’t get a job. He started at a local high school and aced all the chemistry classes. Because he was already 47, he had picked up a lot of things he needed in high school so he finished school in 2 years. He needed money to apply for Harvard, his dream University that he had a chance getting into, so he went became a used car dealer. He was not very good at convincing people because he always wanted people to get the best for them, so he would rarely sell cars. Often his conversations would go like this:
“Golly, I would really like this car!!” The buyer would say.
“Yes, it looks very nice. But it is breaking down. It’s break pads don’t work, and it costs a lot to fill up with fuel. You might as well buy a new Corvette.”
He was fired after the 5th week.
He started working at the gas station until he found a high paying job. By this time he was 49, and he was living in an old apartment with a 1992 car that should’ve been crushed 15 years ago. After 4 months of that job, he quit and went to work at FormulaCreators again when they offered him top dollar to come back and work as manager. When he went back, he got a lot of money. He applied to Harvard very early to show he was very interested. His field was being a scientist. Will Harvard ever get back? Stay tuned to read “The Story Behind Old MacDonald Pt. 2”
