One of the reasons that I really like this story is that I identify so strongly with Tim. Except for me I'm sort of like Benny in some ways, except for forms. When I fill a form, I can almost hear someone standing over me demanding to know if what I put on the form is true.
This of course makes it very difficult(damn nearly impossible really)to fill such wonders of modern life as employment applications.
And before you say do online apps? They can be worse if possible. Don't have something like a telephone number from ten years ago? Don't bother adding that job to your job history. Even with a computer some of that is ridiculous. I've worked at several companies that have gone out of business. Also having been in the army, if I gave the phone number of my last unit that would have zero bearing today, cause it's been so long that anyone who was in with me would be retired, not just transferred, but retired!
So many frustrations, and so much feeling that there is no way to go forward.
