RUN-ONS

Job Search

Baloo Archives

My first job was working in an orange juice factory,
but I got canned because I couldn't concentrate.

Then I worked in the woods as a lumberjack,
but I just couldn't hack it, so they gave me the axe.

After that I tried to be a tailor, but I just wasn't suited for it.  Mainly because it was a so-so job.

Next I tried working in a muffler factory
but that was exhausting.

I wanted to be a barber, but I just couldn't cut it.

Then I tried to be a chef--figured it would add a little spice to my life but I just didn't have the thyme.

Finally, I attempted to be a deli worker,
but any way I sliced it, I couldn't cut the mustard.

My best job was being a musician,
but eventually I found I wasn't noteworthy.

I studied a long time to become a doctor,
but I didn't have any patients.

Next was a job in a shoe factory;
I tried but I just didn't fit in.

I became a professional fisherman,
but discovered that I couldn't live on my net income.

Thought about becoming a witch,
so I tried that for a spell.

I managed to get a good job working for a pool maintenance company,
but the work was just too draining.

I got a job at a zoo feeding giraffes but I was fired because I wasn't up to it.

So then I got a job in a gymnasium (work-out-center),
but they said I wasn't fit for the job.

Next, I found being an electrician interesting,
but the work was shocking.

After many years of trying to find steady work I finally got a job as a historian
until I realized there was no future in it.

My last job was working at Starbucks, but I had to quit because it was always the same old grind.

You have any ideas for a job? Maybe you have something that Works, .because I don't.
