IIRC John first announced that job as a part-time contract; but
didn't even turn up on the right day. When he found out the childs
nursing care is funded by state aid, he wanted to be there fulltime.
Then the "unexpected holidays" kicked in. I'm guessing the family didn't
want or need full-time basket bear.

When John put in his time sheet to the nursing agency there was a
delay while they "checked it". No doubt asked the clients to confirm
Nurse Kuthe's days and hours worked, so the agency could bill State Aid
for the correct amount.

Uh Oh; suddenly its all gone to shit and the contract is terminated.
