Six months ago I started working at the
Mendocino Coast District Hospital as an orderly (spongebaths and bedpans). Since then I have been made 'Unit Coordinator' (low level management), 'Audiology Technologist', and, my favorite, 'Neurodiagnostic Technician'. A year ago I was stacking tuna in the freeze hold of a fishing vessel in the middle of the Pacific. Damn.
