Menial job

When I was a kid and didn’t work well in school, my mom always predicted that I would end up working for the road maintenance department, at the last rung of the ladder with a “shovel and a pair of rubber boots,” doing menial tasks. I didn’t care much about the threat, because at least, I’d be outdoors and would be tanned all year round. Destiny took me into a slightly different path, but today, as a way to confirm my mother’s oracle, I spread asphalt sealer on my driveway (something I’m supposed to do every couple of years) and boy, what a hard work that was! Now, I think I’m going to be a good student; finally!
