Where to actually begin.

This story starts awhile before I actually turned the store live online. It starts about 2 years before. That's when my career of 30 years suddenly became toxic ( to use a word overused right now). My annual reviews were good. I felt I was doing a good job. I had just had a lovely 30th anniversary party. And suddenly nothing was good anymore. Nothing I could do was right. Nothing was quick enough. Everything was wrong.

Now you can make what you want of it but the fact is, I had hit my 30th anniversary at the company and my 55th birthday which made me eligible for an early retirement with a portion of my pension.
