Auntie Charo's Soapbox

Okay, so a few years ago, we had almost enough nurses to cover our needs here-n-there, course, this meant that some or most of them had to work two jobs in order to do that, but no one complained since the jobs at the hospital and clinics were covered and the nurses were paid and their household bills were paid. Who ever thought to pay them what they were worth so that they had only to work one job!!!! So, a throng of HMOs trot to paradise come to our fair isle and sign up a bunch of nurses with wonderful presents of thou$$$and$ of dollar$ ju$t to $ign up. Of couse it was disastrous because the nurses moved their families to these places only to find out that they were treated like slaves but hey, there was good pay and that's what lured them away from the two jobs....I digress. The slumlords never came back for more nurses and we're still short nurses and we're still fighting with immigration problems for getting more nurses from the PI.
Now, if you're like I am and can't find enough to read about in Sunday's catbox liner and have done the puzzle, read the want ads....find that Clark County Nevada is now coming to Guam looking for....teachers.....alas! These people must not read the papers and must not know that some of them actually(alleged, of course) might bribe people to change scores so that they appear to be certified in order to teach....anyway, if you're certified or pretend to be and want to move to Nevada to be with family and or friends.....they've got a job for you.......just remember it's hotter than hell for about four summers out of the year....I know, I know, you can always stay inside and turn the air-conditions 'up' and it's a 'dry hot' but the oven's a dry hot and I wouldn't want to spend no four months in no oven!!! But if you're a teacher and want to teach in the good months, there's a job for you in Nevada....the ad's in today's PDN.
I wonder what thay's gonna do to the shortage in GPSS? As if we didn't already have a teacher shortage! Now instead of 33 to 35 kids in a classroom, maybe we'll have 60? Ah, shucks, we'll just build more schools, then the teachers will come, you'll see! Better wake up, I must be dreaming!
