When was the last time you had a good week?
I sympathize with the boss thing. When the pizza place I worked at went belly-up, my boss told me two things: 1. They would mail me the rest of the money they owed me, and 2. He was going into upper management at a high profile company and would get me a desk job there. He told me to keep in touch.
Well, I never received my last check. And I have called him about 10 or 11 times in the past few weeks. No answer. I've tried all times of the day. I've left message. No return calls. Nothing. No one ever picks up.
Probably about a month or more ago-- about the time I began rewriting this story into a script. Since the day after Thanksgiving, however it has REALLY been bad-- no let-up.
