Way too analytical

she's not elderly
or of the working class

she's poor 
but, not of the working poor

she's not young or old
just middle aged disabled
a baby boomer from the sixties

computer savvy 
way too analytical 
for her own good

deprived of a work history
no skills or experiences
just a head full of knowledge
and education

because she look lazy
or some other b/s in eyes of employers
looking to hold a girl back

from her dreams and hopes 
of a successful life in her fifties
well established by her sixties

a fulfilling life
of accomplishments
and rewards
from her successes she coulda have

    You have written of a fallacy of our business world that tends to judge the package wrapping with disreguard as to the contents of said package. Good write.
