About me

I am within three years of my retirement, and as I look back over my work history, I take pride in the number of divesified careers I have enjoyed. I enjoyed the humor of the following as it sums up some of my thoughts towards work and where it can take us.

• My first job was working in an orange juice factory, but I got canned ... couldn't concentrate.
• Then I worked in the woods as a lumberjack, but I just couldn't hack it, so they gave me the ax.
• After that I tried to be a tailor, but I just wasn't suited for it.
• Then I decided to become a Travel Agent, but I found the work too foreign.
• Next I tried working in a muffler factory but that was exhausting.
• I tried working as a retail store manager but I was always losing the inventory.
• 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.
• I tried becoming a consultant but no-one would listen to me.
• I managed to get a good job working for a pool maintenance company, but the work was just too draining.
• I tried politics once, but since I could only be truthful, my downfall was inevitable, and I didn't last long.
• So then I got a job in a gymnasium, but they said I wasn't fit for the job.
• I got a job as a historian until I realized there was no future in it.
• Just for the html of IT, I tried web design but I kept forgetting my (java) script .
• I finally landed a job as a teacher but they said I had no class.
• So I am now considering retiring, because I think I would be perfect for that job!
