    NB> That's really a shame.  Did you ever connect to the upper management   
    NB> about the situation...?  That all sounds just unprofessional, even if it   
    NB> is "only" foodservice...   
      
     No, it got stuck on the 'load shedding' pile and I suspect it's been there   
   long enough so that it will be summarily discarded before taken into account.    
   Regardless, with attention to detail like the guy had, it's not going to take   
   long for plenty of other complaints to take that one's place.  I mean there   
   were plenty of people complaining about unprofessional/incompetent behavior   
   well before I left there.   
     I may still do it at some point, but even trying to salvage the situation for   
   another dozen-twenty hours at the location in the city here doesn't really   
   seem worth it now that the contract is giving more hours.  I think I'd rather   
   volunteer than take another food service job at this point, being as this has   
   happened for both food service jobs that I've had in the area now.  I suspect   
   that with all of the competition for jobs around here they're just used to   
   being able to find people desperate enough to handle that kind of situation...    
   People that don't have kids requiring them to have honored scheduling hours,   
   for instance, and don't have other fallback skills.  I mean, that sounds kind   
   of bad, I don't mean desperate in a bad way, but the entry-level labor market   
   is pretty tooth & nail around here.   
      
    NB> And hopefully the contract work will blossom and pay well enough to   
    NB> sustain you.  :)   It certainly has the potential to be more satisfying   
    NB> a job, even if it doesn't get you out of the house... :)   
      
     Well it's now proven to do that at least for several weeks here.  That'll be   
   enough to get a nest egg set up again well enough to take the sweat from my   
   brow for a few months, hopefully.  Better still, the guy arranging this   
   contract has other ones up his sleeve; I think once a decent amount of hours   
   has been taken in stride, he'll probably branch out to other contracts to keep   
   a better amount of work on my plate.  This has been indicated in his   
   discussions so far, anyway.  I'll find something to do for the social   
   situations.  I did have a good date day before yesterday here.  :)   
      
    NB> Even some professional jobs don't offer much respect... even if they pay   
    NB> a little better and maybe even have better benefits... been there...   
      
     This is true, and probably a good thing for me to keep in mind at this point.   
   Still, I'm happy where things are going right now.  :)
