Back to Square One

Today's blog is brought to you by http://www.creativewritingprompts.com/# Prompt # 164.

"Back to square one," she thought, as she placed the last frame in the box, picked it up and headed out the door.  She was just fired from her third job this year.

The first was the pizza place, she was doing really well there, that is until that woman who changed her order six times was seated in her section, and she snapped after the sixth order change and yelled at the woman, "This isn't Burger King, you can't have it your fucking way." Of course, the woman complained and she was let go immediately.

The next job was at a small coffee shop.  She kept that one for a while even though she constantly got the customers' orders wrong.

This job though, she had thought was perfect and a great fit for her, it was a small internet firm that helped people find green building products.  She worked as a customer service representative and loved the job.  It had great hours and she felt good about what she was doing.  She was let go because she apparently processed one too many orders incorrectly.

"What am I going to do now?" she didn't even know what she was good out to go and find another job.

So she went home to figure out what she was good at and what she wanted to do with her life.
