My name is Erin, and by a stroke of luck, I got a job with a legal firm.
In fact, you might have seen TV ads for this well-known company.
I'm the low woman on the corporate ladder, but that's okay with me.
It means that I typically get many of the routine jobs, but at least with this company, I've planted my flag.
I'm also the youngest person on the team.
I'm in my mid-20s, and if I say so myself, I fill out my business suit very well.
Dress for success, as they say.
One Thursday, the owner of the firm called me into his office.
"Erin, I have a special assignment for you.
This is an important job, which is why we're allotting three days for it, in case any contingencies arise.
The whole trip is prearranged with your flight booked and a car to pick you up at your house and drive you to the airport.
When you get back, another car will drive you home from the airport.
All you have to do is be ready and on time next Monday." This was a far cry from the routine jobs I was used to getting.
Quite excited, I assured him, "I'm very happy to go, sir.
Thank you for this opportunity." That meant I'd be leaving in three days.
