I was an usher at a summer concert venue for many years. There was another usher that I often worked with. One summer I kept seeing her name on the email telling us what concert we were scheduled to work but she was never scheduled like the rest of us. I asked a supervisor about her. I thought maybe she was out for a surgery or traveling or something. They told me her doctor had told her she had signs of cognitive impairment. Is that a nice way of saying you have dementia? So they hired her for the summer and then never scheduled her to work. I thought it was strange but maybe it was the kind way to handle it. We were work friends but never more than that.
