Why some people don’t like their jobs (my favourite jobs and why)


Listen Later

Hey guys today I will discuss why some people don’t like their jobs and why their jobs can be extremely stressful. What my favourite jobs were what my least favourite jobs were are what I will be talking about in this episode. Starting with the first thing they call work experience but I actually got paid for it for the longest time. So when I first started work experience in school my first thing I ever did was wash dishes at a restaurant called the honey pot which is located in a town called Wainwright, Alberta. Now for the most part it wasn’t too bad to start with but after a while I realized it just wasn’t the job for me cause I just ended up with a lot more stress than I intended to have in the first place. Then after I quit work experience there, I was offered to go Norris Ford in Wainwright but before my first day at Norris there was a silent auction and at the silent auction I scanned around the tables hoping to find something of interest. So I went up and down the rows of tables and didn’t really find anything of interest until one moment where they put a green Norris Ford coat on the table. And let me tell you I kept my eyes on that coat like a hawk. So I was still living with my mom at the time and she was there with me and some of my brothers and sisters. And guess what? My auntie Gwen started the bidding for that coat and what I didn’t realize at the time is that she was bidding on it for me as a grad gift. But I’d been eyeing up that coat since it was put there for silent auction and I was not letting her win. Because I thought she would give it to one of her kids. But little did I know she had a plan for that coat the whole entire time and I had no clue what she was up to so I did everything I could to bid against her and win that Norris Ford coat I had to win it if I wanted to promote the brand while doing work experience there for a possibility of increasing my chances of working at the Norris Ford dealership. So the bidding went on and on, multiple people were bidding on it was around 6 people that were bidding on it. She battles back and forth for that coat and all I’m hoping was please don’t win that or I won’t get that coat that I’d been eyeing up for around an hour and a half. Then the final bids came and my other family members wouldn’t bid any higher. So eventually my Auntie Gwen won the coat and little did I know by the end of it she ended up saying “Joey here’s your grad gift, you had people bidding against me, why did you do that?” And my response was “I just wanted to get that coat bad enough and I thought you would’ve gave it to someone else so that’s why I had people bid against you.” She said “fair enough.”
