I can't imagine how many people can relate to this on any given day. I have been there, and in fact I have taken that job that is less because what choices do we have at the bottom? Very good piece.
I liked this piece a lot. I wasn't alive in 1963, but there have been events in my life where you just know exactly where you were when... I suspect anyone who heard the news of JFK remembers it like yesterday. All major events happen on an oridarny day. Well written.
