 Norma's Wanderings around a small section of Montana |
It is a few days before July 4 and I am dreading, once again, the stupid fireworks everyone in town feels the need to set off a full week ahead of the holiday. Perhaps this year with the price of everything increasing, no one will have money for them. {slapping face} Snap out of it! Of course they will. Just like beer and cigarettes- there is always money. Busy times here. Not doing anything of any note when it comes to writing, it seems. I just am in a slump. It will pass. Someday. We've been getting rain most afternoons and evenings for about a week. Pretty unusual actually. But it is concerning when everything grows tall and green, then dries out in July and August when fire season starts. The senior center in town is having a major meltdown and will probably, at least it is 99% sure, close for a time to reset the program. Seems the director perhaps has been pilfering funds. It is rumor, or is it? An audit will have to be done. But when the last director left, there was over $100K in the bank for this new director to work with. And there is a generous amount given by the state and another agency in town plus the county each month. Currently, the kitchen staff is working without pay since they are almost out of money. So the director has the bank account down to less than $10K and it takes over $15K per month to run the program. Yikes. Someone's in trouble. Here's the rub, no one checked this person's qualifications- they just hired her. No notice was posted about the job, so no other applications were received. This person has a long list of previous felonies plus jobs where she has been fired. Okay, good to give people a second chance. But really, when she won't let people into her office, won't let anyone check the books, won't do her job as instructed by her supervisor, won't pay people, and the list goes on and on. Well, time to take a step back. Small town drama is ramping up again. |
