For what it's worth, I did not read any sarcasm in it either. While I am
hardly a saint, I can tell that work in nursing homes is definitely not for
everyone! Especially when working with Alzheimer's victims and the
developmentally disabled. We take a lot of abuse from the people we care for.

That said, I am sure Tim, as a psychiatric nurse, gets his share of abuse
too. Back in my home country I was a clinical psychologist, so I can relate
to Tim's work quite well.

Cheers,
Adam
