Happy Day

Joe had been looking for a job for a year and a half.

That day he checked his e-mail and saw a job offer. It was a lucky day indeed! He

called his wife as he wanted her to know he had finally got that long-expected

offer.

“Congratulations, dear,” his wife told him on the

got a job? Good Lord! Those questions were annoying

but he now knew what he was going to say to those people then. “I’m the Deputy

Manager of Wellington Farming Entreprises.”

He remembered the interview. The only man in the four-member

not study Agriculture at college so he did not understand why they picked him

for that job. Perhaps there was something that they saw in him that he was not

aware of.

His family was happy for him. The children had already

asked him for video games and sneakers. He promised to her that the first

salary would be spent on them and their mother.

He imagined going to the Human Resources Manager and

getting his first paycheck. The thing he was sure of was that he would buy a

new coat for his dear wife. He might also replace his son’s battery-operated

radio with an electric one. He could do wonders with the salary of a Deputy

Manager. He was also going to buy himself a new suit. What a day it was! He

could dream on and on…
