PROJECT IS CLOSED!

Sharon awoke with the loud noise of the alarm clock ringing in her ear. She thought to herself' another day another dollar'. She knew that she had to suck it in and deal with the harassment that was dished out to her at work. She needed this job to pay the bills, and buy groceries to feed her family.

She remembered the day that her husband Carl had come home with the news that he was laid off again. It had been hard enough to make ends meet . She had wanted to be able to stay home with her children at least until they entered school. Good day care centers were hard to find, and they never received the daily loving individual care that a caring parent can give. Her two children Libby two and Robby six months took up most of time, but she loved caring for her kids. She had to give that up and find a job to help with the bills, at least until Carl could find more employment. He could draw unemployment for a few weeks, but then what,? It was decided that Carl would watch the kids while I took an outside job.
I scanned the employment section of the paper on a daily basis. I was looking for anything that paid at least a decent salary, but those jobs were hard to find. I had worked as a waitress, before my marriage to Carl, so I had some experience , and at least with this job your tips helped to compensate the low hourly wage. I went for several interviews at different places, and left with the same answer. We will call you if your credentials and your referrals are in good standing, I kept waiting for the calls that never came. but I kept scanning the employment section of the paper everyday. The day came when this ad jumped out at me. 'WANTED AN ATTRACTIVE WOMAN WITH EXPERIENCE' FOR HOSTESS OF A FIVE STAR RESTAURANT TO START IMMEDIATELY. I didn't have experience, but thought that i would give it a try. When I went in for the interview they ask me to wait in the office and the owner would be in soon. I sat there waiting with sweaty palms. I was very anxious at what the reaction would be, since I had no experience as a Hostess. There was a rap on the door and this huge guy walked in. He reminded me of the mafia bosses that I had seen portrayed in movies. He sat down and asked what my experiences were job wise. The whole time that he was interviewing me he was undressing me with his eyes.' Well you are certainly attractive enough, and the you will have on job training, which I think that an attractive intelligent person as your self can handle. I was to be paid a salary that I found unbelievable. I would be a fool to turn this opportunity down. So my new career as a hostess began....
They furnished my uniform .which was a black form fitting dress with black heels, and diamond earrings and choker to match. I was to leave the diamonds in the safe before going home. I sat in the front entrance and welcomed all the guest and showed them to their tables. This was one of the classiest restaurants in the big windy city of Chicago . I felt like the luckiest person on earth at that time. Little did I know what this job would entail in the future .
