Nice jobs

This morning I received a very special e-mail. At first, I thought it was nothing, since the sender was my employment agency again. You see, I get e-mails every other day from my employment agency, always stating that they have work for me as a telemarketer. But not this time. No, they had something really special for me, a job that would involve a great deal of responsibility. They wanted me, a 18-year old (almost 19 by the way... YAY) guy, without any prior education in the field, to work as an...


*insert drum roll here*




Air-traffic controller


Yep, "Dafuq" was my first reaction too. Yeah, sure, why not! I'll take the responsibility of hundreds of human lives. No problem! Hmm, I'll just let that plane go there, and then that one goes there. Now we land this one and... Oops! I just sent 660 passengers (actual Boeing 747 passenger capacity) to the next plane (no pun intended) of existence. Well, what do you know? I wasn't that suitable for the job after all!
Now, if they do want me to work in the air-traffic branch, I think a job as a cleaner on the airport would be more suitable for me at the moment. No endangering lives there! Unless I mop the floor a bit too wet and people slip and break their necks or something like that... But that could happen to anyone, right?


So, what I'm trying to say here is, although I might have been laid off at the Albert Heijn, I think I won't take the job. Just sayin'.


Now I'm off to school for some hardcore Spanish studying.


As always, comments are most welcome!


¡Hasta luego!
