It was my second try and I do not know the results yet. It is for a USA Federal EPA Microbiology Certification Officer certificate to inspect all drinking water facilities.

The official approved EPA Drinking Water methods used in Microbiology. In other words Multipile Tube Fermentation, Membrane Filtration and several other types of methods used to detect E. coli and waste born bacteria. Things that might expose humans to infections that would cause sickness. I had to remember everything possible about these methods so I could be able to inspect laboratories that do this type of work.

Because I am stupid, I never say no when asked to do something. Or they think I am smart?
