Watching the past fall apart

Tweet

Several years ago my husband and myself ran a newspaper distribution business for one of our Local papers. Since we gave it up several people have ran the same business and we have continued to carry a route or two when time and running vehicles would allow. At the end of November last year we stopped delivering. The overly wet fall and the way our present vehicle was acting was a factor in our quitting. The person running the place presently asked for our help a couple weeks ago. Because they did not have enough people to deliver all the routes. The fact that the warehouse where they are working out of, the same warehouse we used to run our business out of, looks like a city dump with garbage everywhere and over half the tables and carts used to hold this junk. You can not even get to the recycle gaylords. Could be a factor in their no keeping carriers. Also the fact that no one in charge even showed up to count the papers. Then wonder why they are short..they overload the people they have and have no leadership to guide new people. This was once my business and I'm heart broken that it looks like it does and is being run into the ground. I don't know if I can continue to help. Not if the person running the place can't be bothered to care. But we need some extra money right now. How do I stop obsessing over what once was so I can ignore the condition of a failing service. And just do the job and earn some extra money without going crazy in the between time.
