ADs are paid a lot of money in Maryland - A LOT OF MONEY. The turnover here is very light, might lose one every three to five years at most. When this happens, I have no trouble retaining my current schedule with the facility. There was just one exception to this, a place where I performed every month for 15 years, and every special function, which amounted to at least another half dozen jobs a year. When the AD left that I had worked with all those years, the new person that took his place, a lady, could have cared less. She even stiffed me for a performance payment, which I'll write off on my income tax. She's a nut case, to say the least, the residents want her out of there in the worst way, but so far, it hasn't happened. Consequently, I will no longer be performing there, and neither will any of the other OMB NH guys I know.

Good luck,

Gary
