No kids. Just alcoholics for relatives. Yes. Being able to track their location during a bender would be great, simply for some damage control.
That was before we changed states to live the fuck alone, just man and wife ~and three pitbulls, four cats, a bunny, and now three pekin ducks~
You don’t get dependencies in real life like that.
You work 10 years in an industry and try to get a promotion? That may be a dependency issue.
They don’t always, trust me.
That being said, I miss our mom-and-pop Italian restaurant, and the same owners of a Mexican casual place across the street from the Italian place.
I know (for a fact) they take people straight out of rehab or jail, and train them on fine dining waiting, at least at the Italian location.
Give them an upscale skill that will still hire felons (or addicts in recovery), train em up, and be happy for their future success as an individual rebuilding their life, even if it isn’t at THEIR restaurant. They also understand that addicts may have lapses. My BIL works for them (now) but previously, their chef started showing up at the BIL’s AA meetings before he pretty much blackballed himself from his industry (The BIL, for clarity).
He didn’t violate AA rules, but he cautiously asked after the chef… yeah, he was cooking and drinking, and the food quality suffered. They gave the chef a week off, paid, to get his shit together - frankly speaking.
And he did. He spent the first couple days TANKED, and then sobered up again.
The owners are good people, but they’ll work you lol. Its a paycheck on par with the position, maybe a little better, but you’re gonna work up a sweat.
I’ve been in an office for the past ~12 years, and am looking for work in my new state, but just yesterday I applied for a job that consists of “pick up heavy boxes, put them elsewhere.” Today, not mentioning other jobs, I applied for a prep chef position. I’m not afraid of sweating, or even bleeding to an extent, but I need a paycheck lol.
I wasn’t a big fan of horror movies until later in life, mostly because my parents wouldn’t allow slasher type films.
So I ran through the saga. I enjoyed them, though I wouldn’t call them art, lol.
I agree, the reboot actually got me more interested in the lore, which I think Barker excels at based on his games Undying and Jericho.
