Based on the provided story, let's evaluate its Tragedy Degree and Comedy Degree:

**Tragedy Degree:**
The story contains very mild elements of struggle related to Marla's career transitions and the anxiety associated with job recruitment processes. However, these elements are not very dramatic or deeply tragic. They are more about everyday stresses and uncertainties rather than profound tragedy.

**Comedy Degree:**
The story contains a slight comedic element when Marla chuckles at the aptness of the book title "The Art of Slowing Down." However, the story is more serene and introspective rather than outright comedic. The ending is peaceful and positive, contributing slightly to the comedy degree, but it is not strongly comedic.

Here is the scoring based on the criteria:

```json
{
  "TragedyDegree": 2,
  "ComedyDegree": 4
}
```
