1. My first job was working in an Orange Juice factory, but I got canned… I couldn’t concentrate.

2. Then I worked in the woods as a Lumberjack, but just couldn't hack it, so they gave me the axe.
3. After that, I tried being a Tailor, but wasn't suited for it -- mainly because it was a sew-sew job.
4. Next, I tried working in a Muffler Factory, but that was too exhausting.
5. Then, tried being a Chef - figured it would add a little spice to my life, but just didn't have the thyme.
6. Next, I attempted being a Deli Worker, but any way I sliced it.... couldn't cut the mustard.
7. My best job was a Musician, but eventually found I wasn't noteworthy.

8. I studied a long time to become a Doctor, but didn't have any patience.
9. Next, was a job in a Shoe Factory. Tried hard but just didn't fit in.
10. I became a Professional Fisherman, but discovered I couldn't live on my net income.
11. Managed to get a good job working for a Pool Maintenance Company, but the work was just too draining.
12. So then I got a job in a Workout Center, but they said I wasn't fit for the job..
13. 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.
14. My last job was working in Starbucks, but had to quit because it was the same old grind.
15. SO, I TRIED RETIREMENT… AND I FOUND I'M PERFECT FOR THE JOB!

These are clues to a letterbox puzzle, right? ; )

Well, they should be! Haha
Thanks for the morning laugh.

I am so ready to try job #15, but unfortunately I'm not old enough.

But honestly, my first job was as an assistant in the city library. I have turned a lot of pages since then.

Hey DS! Our first job was delivering newspapers--remember? But we were tossed out.

Oh, I also knew a guy who wanted to be a janitor, but he was a mess, so he was canned.

My first job was a machinist. I just couldn't bore it!
