Good day to you all my friends and learners on hive.
Today is another beautiful day on the earth's surface. All praises and adoration be to the almighty God that created life and all in it. Our existence on the earth's surface should be something we appreciate always because every condition we find ourselves in is what someone else out there must have been praying for.
This would take me to the prompt word for the hive learners week 18Bold* episode 3 which is “Best and worst job.”*
If I could remember vividly, it was my days back then at secondary school when I had to borrow some amount of money from a friend of mine. I don’t think I needed the money but the fact that I felt he was spending at his wish, I decided to get some amount from him. Days passed by as I was unable to pay him back. He gave me a deadline for the payment in which if I couldn’t pay up before then I would have to face the consequences.
I was perplexed on my way out of settling the debt then I went to ask him if there is some other way for me to pay it back. He smiled and said; “can you work?”. Then I responded, “why not”.
He told me to wait behind after the closing hour so we can go there in groups. I was scared but I just had to summon that courage to do so since I have no means of paying back. We journeyed for hours to the location where we were going to work, I was time conscious because I mustn’t get home late. We kept on trekking into the bush till we got to a man who molds bricks.
He greeted the man and said, here are the workers. The man welcomed us and said the work is not much and we are going to get paid based on how hard we work. Immediately we got to work and started to pack the bricks to a distant location. After going a few rounds I was tired 😴 but when I thought about how the money would be based on the amount of work done then I continue to offload them.
We did this till evening. I got tired and stressed 😩. Then I decided to call it a day. I told the man to give me pay for the work done then he asked us to wait until his arrival. He took a lot of time before he could arrive but finally, we got our payment in the end. I paid my debt, went to a restaurant, and ate to satisfaction then I had to think of a lie that would fit my lateness at home. It was a success though the pay isn’t worth the work done and I was the one to bear the pain all to myself.
I haven’t worked that much or gotten several job appointments. But the best job I got myself doing was the fact that I can work from home on my phone and at my leisure. It’s still the best job I got so far.
