 DAG> Unfortunately the job that I was having these troubles at never

That's really a shame.  Did you ever connect to the upper management
about the situation...?  That all sounds just unprofessional, even if it
is "only" foodservice...

And hopefully the contract work will blossom and pay well enough to
sustain you.  :)   It certainly has the potential to be more satisfying
a job, even if it doesn't get you out of the house... :)

 DAG> There's definitely something to be said for the people willing to do

Even some professional jobs don't offer much respect... even if they pay
a little better and maybe even have better benefits... been there...

... To err is human.  To blame it on someone else is even more human.
