10 jokes and memes about jobs (part 3)

A wise man once said, "Do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life. Because you'll get fired for doing what you love, rather than doing your job."

As luck would have it, that leads us nicely into this week's blog post, which is also on the theme of jobs.

1) Thankfully, I've worked at several companies with hard-working managers who do a good job. However, I've worked at the occasional place like this...


"Due to cutbacks, we're going to have to fire Dave."





2) I used to have a job as a pantomime horse, but I quit while I was a head.





3) Sadly, I was fired from my job shaving patients for spinal surgery.

It was due to cutbacks.





4) When the boss unexpectedly shows up at work, and you need to look busy so you pretend you're doing something...






5) I was fired from my job at an ice cream factory.

Just because I refused to work on a Sundae!





6) If candidates answered job interview questions honestly...

Interviewer: "So, tell me why you want the job."
Candidate: "Well, you pay me money, and money can be exchanged for goods and services."





7) Meet Adam and Chris...


To be fair, I suspect that most people who do philosophy degrees know it's not a wise career move, and they presumably do it because they enjoy philosophy rather than for future employment prospects.

However, anyone doing a philosophy degree who didn't realise that is indeed rather foolish.





8) I've just told a mime artist that I had to fire him.

"You're firing me! What did I do wrong?" he replied.





9) Can you imagine the self-control you would need to work in a bubble wrap factory?





10) Finally, if you accidentally came here looking for an actual job, rather than memes, then good news! Royal Mail are hiring!


"When you were a kid did you play that game where you knocked on someone's door and ran away before they could answer?"

To be fair, our local postman isn't too bad ... as long as you sprint to the door as soon as you hear a knock and get there within three seconds!

In all seriousness, at least my parcels always get delivered and I don't have a problem with deliveries going to the wrong house (unlike some people in my area who use other delivery services), so respect for getting my parcels delivered!
