You should come out to California and work in a care facility. My MiL is in a facility that I can't praise enough. They have enough people, they are really nice, and even the medical insurance company we use sings their praises. My MiL is dying an inch at a time from Alzheimer's, but she's being treated well. Two years, and not even a bed sore!
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
