Hiring of Elaine Hall

Submitted by on


It was five years ago I turned thirty and to keep my job I began using my sister’s name... A comedy of errors and my warped attitude necessitated a change if I were to stay employed... It was late summer of 2008: some called it a down swing, others a recession, and for those losing houses, jobs or both it was depressing. The worst two four letter words regarding one’s job were ‘pink slip’… Julie and I were expecting our second child before the end of the year, not a good time to lose my job.



Some characters from Ashley Phoenix Riley are in this story.
