Leaving rural New England behind, I'd hoped to use my
surprising computer programming skills to land one of the plentiful
computer jobs in Colorado and define it as my destiny...
It was merely four years after my move that any hope had
been lost. Any chance of getting a degree had been dashed, any
stopgap of having a part-time computer job to keep my skills fresh
until that golden opportunity found me was now a distant memory.
My entire life had narrowed down to my one, part-time grocery store
job I had found a few years earlier.
Given my long experience in the business from working at
the family owned grocery store chain across the hayfield from my
childhood home, I had found my time at this Colorado store easy, if
not always pleasant. Now as I had little left to my life & hopes
but this one job, changes in the management had brought in a desire
for a fresh face. And that face wasn't mine.
Still, there was nothing noticeably wrong with my job
performance that they could pin a termination on and that frustrated
the new 'Powers That Be'. Finally a desperate plan was hatched.
During my next two days off from work they would do a top to bottom
review of the section I shared with another coworker. There must
have been something, anything I had gotten wrong
during the preceding weeks and months!
And once they found it, the third leg of the three
legged stool of my life could be pulled out from under me...
