The manager of the Bates Motel - Carmen - just called with the news that her grand daughter has died - at the ripe old age of seventeen. So Carmen needs to leave ASAP to be with her son back East somewhere and attend the funeral.
She asked me to fill in for her at the Bates and of course I said yes. Which means I will be putting in 14 hours a day over the busy labor day weekend starting tomorrow.
The plus is that I will make some badly needed extra money. But I wish it wouldn't have been at the cost of such tragedy for Carmen.
