Leave it to Maxine

Maxine's Resume

1. My first job was working in an Orange Juice factory, but I got canned. 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 FOUND I'M PERFECT FOR THE JOB!

Really? Sometimes you're busier when you're retired. Just hope you enjoy it!! Do you? I would think so because of the humour.

Hi Patty ~~ I have just caught up with all your great posts and have
enjoyed them all. Retirement is all
some of us have left.
I hope your allergies have settled down as that is so unpleasant. Doing yard work and then mowing - no wonder That workout joke fitted a lot of us I also have trouble walking still.And cooking is a real chore lately, I just have no energy. I don't think the aneurysm is the problem . I had VERY low blood pressure, so we dropped a B/P tablet and that fixed that/ Then my (pulse) heart rate was VERY
low 47 and should have been double.
I had an ECG and Dr thought I may have angina (the sort that gives a heart attack) So I had another ECG
and haven't heard since. Looking forward to having my brother and friend visit next week.
Take care my friend and don't work too hard. Love, Merle.
