FD sent me a text this morning, saying neither she nor her husband got paid today. They work for the same people, but he’s on nights at a remote site and she’s on days.
She just sent me a text saying everyone has walked out but her and one manager.
The story is trickling in. The owner evidently knew two days ago that he couldn’t meet payroll, but he was so busy opening up his new restaurant that he doesn’t seem to care.
She said they’ll be OK. She said Rob’t will file for SSA and work part-time and she will go back to lab work. She says it pays better and has better benefits. And here was I, gearing up for a rough row to hoe with her, giving her mortal support and all that.
She’s learned a lot since she began AA!
Oy. I’m glad she’s handling it well. There’s nothing like cognitive behavioral therapy, which is a lot of what they find at AA, to help you cope.
