You can always count on family in times like these - my sister called to tell me I'm going to end up broke and homeless



I don't know what happened between you being a high roller with limo service in Vegas to broke and homeless
Could you afford to be a high roller back then? Why didn't you sock away money?

Hope you find something soon Ace. Sucks to have to deal with this kind of BS. Sorry the story couldn’t have had a happier ending.

What now, Ace. No commute tomorrow. The
first of the month is in 12 days. Will they
send you your last check or will you have to
sue them for it.
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

So you'll get paid this week for last week, then.

No, I am paid for this week next week

It is a strange payroll cycle -- every other Friday you get paid for 2 weeks (which includes the Friday you are actually working)

Secretary texted asking how I was and whether I was going to reply to the Owner's email wherein he said he was shocked I walked out and told me he thought he did everything he could to make the firm hospitable to me

Why haven't you replied.
