-=> Quoting Damon A. Getsman to Daryl Stout on 01-May-2015 09:41 <=-

 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...

 DAG> The contract work is finally producing hours, though, and it's

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

 DAG> 'beggars can't be choosers' kind of applies to the situation that I've
 DAG> been in, and still find myself at this point.  :P 

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.
