Old People
My hairdresser asked me if I wanted to make some money helping out one of her elderly clients, Gerry, who recently had hip surgery. Gerry occasionally needs someone to spend the night, make her breakfast in the morning, take care of her dog, clean up around the house, and drive her to various appointments. Since I have some free time I agreed to do this. Gerry is a very nice old lady, and the work is not hard at all, but I don’t think she realizes what year it is and I’m getting the distinct impression that I’m going to be paid in pennies, peppermint candy, or not at all. Needless to say, this will not be a lucrative career opportunity for me.
