December 1994

For the fourth time since I’ve been in Key West, I am, again, unemployed. I don’t get it. I had a great job and now it’s gone. My boss couldn’t afford to pay me and let me go after I’d quit yet another job to work there full time.

I’m confused as to why this employment instability surrounds me, but I am still determined. For the time being, I am all right. I have a plane ticket home and will find something when I get back. This too, shall pass. I can’t forget that.
I have heard others say something to the effect of: "If the island doesn’t want you, it’ll chew you up and spit you out." Does the island not want me? Is this what is happening?
