To the editor:

Johnnie and I got a chuckle from this "day brightener" sent by a friend. For job hunters, the moral of this story is to not give up. There will be a perfect job someday!RetirementMy first job was working in an orange juice factory, but I got canned. 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 ax. 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 it was just too exhausting. 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. 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 that I wasn’t noteworthy. I studied a long time to be a doctor, but I didn’t have any patience. 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 managed to get a good job working for a pool maintenance company, but the work was just too draining. So then I got a job in a workout center, but they said I wasn’t fit for the job. 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 a coffee house, but I had to quit because it was always the same old grind. So, I retired and found I’m perfect for the job!Rose Tofteland JohnsonLuverne
