Scale, Destitute, Process

Cheryl sat at her speed dating table, notebook in hand, watching as her first five-minute “date” sat down. As she finished greeting him, he said, “Give me the quick and dirty. What do you do for a living?”
And immediately she felt stupid. How could she not have seen this question coming? She stumbled through an explanation of working for the Federal Reserve Bank, of designing processes to evaluate the scale of wealth, from Bill Gates down to the most destitute, stratifying those results, and reporting to various agencies.
“Cool. Time’s up. Gotta go.”
The next “date” sat down.
