DarkRaven: Everything!
Vlad the Emailer: So what’s your Computer set-up like?
DarkRaven: It’s an Intel. (R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2 66GHz 2.66 GHz 504 MB of RAM
Vlad the Emailer: Wow, that’s impressive. You definitely know your computer well. So, what’s the worst, weirdest, or most interesting job you’ve ever had?
DarkRaven: The worst job I ever had was being a dishwasher at a fancy restaurant. The best job I ever had was being a school crossing-guard at an elementary school.
Vlad the Emailer: Could you give us a little example of what it was like being a crossing-guard?
DarkRaven: Sure. I had to ensure that the children and their parents got safely across the busy road. To make it more enjoyable, I would dress up for different “holidays.” I have been a leprechaun, an Easter bunny, and even Betty Rubble, complete with a sundial watch.
Vlad the Emailer: That sounds fun! I would have loved to have seen a leprechaun crossing-guard. So, what’s your favorite part about Vampire Wars?
