As one who has taken a keen interest in Nadine's dilemma, I would suggest your bosom-buddy "recharge" her resume' to include the political job market.
Many male/female governors, senators & congressmen are interested in hiring able-bodied, ambidextrous assistants. As a bonus, she might be able to live by the biblical adage - Be Fruitful & Multiply!! LOL
Nadine must've been fired from my lab because she's not wearing the appropriate personal protective equipment and none of her containers are labeled. However, if she did work in my lab, i'm sure the lab director wouldn't be able to gripe about never seeing people in the labs.
