I’m a nurse’s aid.  I work in a nursing home.  I’ve been there for … what?  24… or is it 25.  No, it’s 24.  24 years.  That’s a long time.  I can retire in 6 more years.  10 if I want to draw full pension.  I’ve got some savings.  I’ll do alright.  I’d like to travel.   See the grandkids.  But, you see, the thing is, I’ve worked here – here at the nursing home, for most of my adult life.  It’s kind of like reading ahead on a novel.  I know how it ends.  It… It takes the fun out of it.  What’s the point in finishing it?
