We could sure use a degreed biologist in Texas.
If none of my NOLA office co-workers take me up on it, I have some room (a lot of room, actually) at my place in Allen. I have offered to my employer, first but I don;t know if anyone will NEED to take me up on it.
My company is doing the right thing: "You have a job. You have benefits. Don't worry about getting a check. Don't worry about your vacation or sick time; take as much time as you need. Can we help you find a place to live? Here is the contact for the EAP counselors." And so on.
Freepmail me if your Dad or if anyone else in your family needs a roof.
