We had a pretty bad day yesterday. The economy here is doing pretty bad lately. Business going under and people getting laid off. A friend of ours last month got hit wit a $800 dollar a month pay cut. He started looking around for a new job. Yesterday they called my wife and told her some bad news. He has a new job. They are moving to Iowa in 3 weeks. They are our best friends and probubly the nicest people I've ever met.
Then yesterday afternoon my wife called her boss at the resturant to ask if see could take the bar shift. He told her that he had already promised on of the other girls they could have ot, but he needed to talk to her. Yesterday evening she met up with him for the talk. He told her that the resturant was bankrupt and wouldnt be opening this morning. So now both her and her 20 year old daughter (who was helping pay the rent) are without jobs. The daughter just lost $150 dollars a week (part-time) and my wife is out $3300 a month counting the tips.
