At the start of the pandemic I was one of the unlucky people who lost their tasks.
I realize that I am not at all particular with this story of struggle, but I do have some different twists and turns to my story.
You see, shortly after I was let go from my position, I began searching for a new profession to fill the void. I found an online SEO position was opening at a nearby start up and I instantly submitted my application. I knew I was going to have a lot to learn but I was looking forward to the challenge. Besides, I was desperate for the paycheck. When I arrived at the startup company’s office, I observed that they had amazing indoor air quality control. I have to say, their central Heating, Ventilation plus A/C system was certainly one of the reasons that I took the task. I could not afford to keep resting in my own central cooling system anymore and I looked forward to the choice of having an cooling system during the hottest part of the humid summer time afternoon. I accepted their task offer and reported to work on my first afternoon, thinking that it was a good opportunity. When I arrived and walked into their amazing air conditioning system I patted myself on the back for making good decisions and saving on my own energy bill. That’s when my new boss walked me directly out of the amazing air conditioning system and into a small trailer next to the office building. She told me this is where I would be working. There was a tiny AC window component hovering directly above the decrepit desk that she motioned to. For a moment, I sincerely thought that she was kidding about the subpar working conditions and indoor air temperature control system. And then, she walked out of the trailer and closed the door.
