Richard I have your solution!
In all seriousness, what type of restraunt is it? Are there anymore localy that may need your experience? And always remember that WHEN you get a job at another restraunt no matter how much or how little they are paying you, don't be proud, if the toilet needs cleaning or the small seemingly useless tasks need to be done that actualy help the operation jump in and them, that goes a long way when working with a new employer.
Richard I wish you the best of luck and will keep you and your family in my prayers through your rough patch
