While the subject matter is certainly solemn the scene itself is funny. Jackie was probably my favorite character on the show. Anyone that had a hard of hearing relative can relate.
My Grandfather refuses to wear his hearing aides. I must admit I've done this sort of thing with him.

WE CAN WORK IT OUT
Mark brough up an interesting topic that I really never gave a whole lot of thought. He asked if I ever felt bad when I left a job. Guilty for leaving? Sad to leave friends behind?
As I looked back at my jobs I can't say that I really have felt like that. When I was still in college working at McDonald's I didn't really feel bad leaving that job. Sure, I had friends that were still working there. I even still had friends that lived in my home town when I moved. But I knew people here in Omaha. I wasn't that far away from Nebraska City. I could still visit them easily enough.
My first job at Boys Town I was ready to leave. I was burnt out. I didn't like the couple that I was working with. It was a much needed change when I left. My next job at the Crisis Hotline I was "divorced from the company". I definitely missed people there. One person in particular. She is still a good friend. So I feel really good about how it turned out now that I know our friendship has endured. But this situation wasn't a 'by choice' leaving.
When I was working on the research grant we all knew our time was limited. So leaving there was an interesting relief. Time was running out on the grant so finding a job was important.
I don't really take a lot away from each job in terms of friends. Mainly because it's few and far between that I have worked with people that I'd be friends with outside of work. That may sound bad, but I don't mean it as such. I keep in contact with former coworkers from time to time, but there are only a couple people that really have lasted over the years.

GROOVE IS IN THE HEART
Because some days you can't hide from the beat.

I'm a 30-something student of human nature. A music-lovin', groove-shakin', laugh-inducin', dish-cookin', gossip-slingin', type of guy. This is my diary of sorts...
