Trading In My Bass For A Briefcase

How the environment around me has changed in the past week. Getting fired. In the process of losing a significant other. Posting a resume online. Going to an interview, my first taste of corporate America. The white walls, generic paintings, patterned carpet that matches the 'furniture', soft hummings of a plethora of printers. Hand shakes. How are you? I am well, thanks for asking. Identification cards allow access to the rest of the building. Computers. Set schedule. Forty Hours. No Schedule flexibility. An opportunity to become a credit card henchman. Efficiency. An standard issue ear piece with microphone akin to telemarketing. Power ties. Business Casual. Proffesional Dress. Skills tests. The Standard. Great 'opportunities' for advancement. Friday is Casual day, HOORAY!
