There are some jobs you do strictly for the paycheck. There are some jobs you do because of a higher calling and, bonus, you happen to get a paycheck too.
And then there are those high-calling kinds of jobs you do even when the paycheck goes away, as it has four times for the nurses-cum-angels at Coastal Kids Home Care since the multi-billion dollar Xerox Corp. took over processing Medi-Cal claims for the state’s Department of Health Care Services.
