Subject: Weekend waterer Position Open!
Hi Martha,
Just wondering if you could send out a message to the Plant Science Graduate Students. Jia Sun is retiring from her weekend waterer position after 7 devoted years and l am looking for a replacement. I have two weekend waterers and they alternate weekends as works best for them. Just involves working 8:30 to 12 noon, Saturday, Sunday and holidays.
Thank you, Cathy Bay
