My name is Tara, and I was born and raised in Washington State.
In 2010 I married Bill (bmac62) and retired ... two of the best choices I ever made! :)
In March, 2013, we sold our home in Washington and went on the road in our RV full time. What a blast! There is so much world out there to see!
After traveling around the West for a few years, we got rid of the motorhome and are now spending winters in deep-south Texas and summers in Washington State. Spring and fall finds us visiting whichever place strikes our fancy at the time!
If I’m missing from Renderosity from time to time, I’m busy having fun elsewhere.
Thanks for your interest in my work, and for stopping by to learn more about me!

Ha, super..., not knowing this was yours, I read it along with the other 16 in the challenge. I should have known...it has your voice...but I didn't pick up on it being yours. For seven descriptive verses I was lulled along thinking the writer is describing some tortured existance and then WHAMO...you brought this poor soul's plight right into an everyday occurance in everybody's office structure. I love it.

yeah, this was great and the end was just the perfect twist!!

Wonderful - I think anyone in tech would be hearing voices before too long! and not too kindly ones at that

What a killer ending! Funny, but I feel that way about Chicago, which is what makes this work so well...you've tapped into that all-too-human feeling of entrapment and it usually comes about in the way insanity does, only you're conscious of it, and aware that humans acting inhumanely (or mechanical, or electronic) are at the root of it. Wow.

Fabulous! what a great relief (in a way) at the end! That's the way I feel when people talk about maths type stuff. I have burst into tears in the bank before now!

yes, it's wonderful how you take us into this tortured soul's thoughts, and end up in the tech dept of an office. Very funny & very well done. Again, your short phrases are like breaths & sighs, even sights. And "Afraid/Alone" is nicely divided...I never voted for the challenge, just never got there to read them all. (I've barely caught up in the visual galleries! Ugh...) But I'm glad you posted this. When I first began, I thought it was more on the friend who has Parkinson's. But it's a mix of turmoil with humor. Very well done, tara. (And I love Chip's comment about chicago!) I always like reading your writing...

This is a wonderful poem! I don't know anything about tech dep. job, but the last part sounds like waking up from a dream ... or daydreaming.
