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 certain with this story of struggle, although I do have some weird 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 advertising position was opening at a nearby start up and I immediately submitted my application. I knew I was going to have a lot to learn although I was looking forward to the challenge. Besides, I was desperate for the paycheck. When I arrived at the startup dealer’s office, I noticed that they had amazing indoor air quality control. I have to say, their central Heating, Ventilation and A/C system was really one of the reasons that I took the task. I couldn’t afford to keep kneeling in my own central cooling system anymore and I looked forward to the option of having an air conditioner during the hottest part of the humid Summer afternoon. I accepted their task offer and reported to labor on my first afternoon, thinking that it was a good opportunity. When I arrived and walked into their amazing air conditioner 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 conditioner and into a small trailer next to the office building. He told me this is where I would be working. There was a tiny A/C window unit hovering directly above the decrepit desk that he motioned to; For a moment, I sincerely thought that he was kidding about the subpar working conditions and indoor air temperature control system. And then, he walked out of the trailer and closed the door.
