Pdh. Pediatric Dentistry Salary Requirements My current salary is $600 monthly so something around that amount would be satisfactory. $600 month!!!! And she’s bi-lingual. Wages here are ridiculous. And people can’t even get jobs to earn the ridiculous wages. Daniel and I had a tiff because he’s been working for the circus without payment. They were supposed to do a benefit for the poorest barrios and the city was supposed to give them some recompense. They did the benefit and the city didn’t come through. Now they can’t pay their payroll. I told Daniel to quit last week if he didn’t receive his salary but he’s been sucked in, and thinks if he continues to work, they’ll come through. What’s going to happen is that they’re going to pull up stakes in the night and leave, owing him a couple of weeks’ payment. He’s so happy to have a job, it doesn’t occur to him that if he’ll work for free, there are any number of jobs available. Meanwhile, none of this is putting food on the table for his children. The sun comes up every day at 5:30 a.m. The sun goes down every day at 5:30 p.m. Doesn’t matter what season. Every day. Sundown at 5:30 is depressing. I miss the long Los Angeles summer days. I had two totally indolent days. No Spanish lesson because my teacher’s mom died a few days ago. No English lesson because Daniel’s nephew had to work. Only my bi-weekly 2-hour manicure and pedicure which taxes my Spanish to the limit, making small talk with Luz Marie while she scrapes away the Granada dirt from my paws. Otherwise, I tried to listen to a 2-hour tutorial on Book Publishing by the most boring man. I fell asleep in the chair, I fell asleep in the hammock, I fell asleep on the couch. finally I gave up and took my weekend nap on the bed. I never ever ever nap in Los Angeles because there’s always an errand to be done or a closet to be cleaned. Here, there’s nothing at all to do except study more Spanish, and there’s just so much I can try to stuff into my poor memory on a daily basis. So I read and swim and sleep and cook.
