The new guy walked wearily into the shop for break. His eyes blinked as sweat burned his irises. Dirt caked in the rings of his neck and arms. Wet vegetation covered his boots in a heavy layer that seemed to crawl up his legs and pepper his entire body.
He half collapsed into a torn and faded chair when the supervisor said to him, “So how you liking your first day on the job.”
He looked back at the supervisor and said, “It’s better than asking if you want fries with that.”
Brought to you for the Trifecta Challenge.
I really liked this Gene. The switch up at the end was clever.
Very good.
Haha! There are so many jobs that are better than that (I’ve worked fast food…I know
)
Love the ending! I’m picturing a whole bunch of pretty adventurous dirty jobs to go with it.
anything is better than asking if you want fries with that!! Nicely done
Thank you
Haha! Step up from McDonalds, but only one step. But he won’t last long if he can’t find a way to curb his honesty. Not that I’d be speaking from experience or anything.
You are so right.
He ran away the next day and found a year round, full time job.
I don’t know, I think I might prefer Mickey D’s. At least he will be in pretty great shape.
Thanks for linking up. Please come back tomorrow for the new challenge.
Too funny. I’m sure most of us have had a new job that was a little better; barely. “)
