QUESTION: Jobs You Can Mess Up, And Still Have A Job

Dear Weatherman,

Are you serious?!

I plan my days based on the words that you say, and with every new broadcast it changes. I packed the umbrella, you said, 80 and rain, now it's 30 below, would you care to explain what the deal is?

This isn't the first time that you've let me down, I don't have enough fingers to count them. If I did my job with your kind of mistakes, I'd be begging for my source of income.

I imagine it's tough reigning in mother nature, she is as temperamental as they come. But it's like you're flipping a coin, or just guessing, that won't cut it, from where I come from.

So guessologist is what we call you, we aren't impressed with the games that you play. So be wary of what you are wearing, If I find you - it's going to rain!

Have the day you deserve,

Let-down, inconsolable audience member

    Guys, jobs' question is really important in our lives. Anyway, I know that sometimes it can be difficult to find a good job, especially if you're unemployed. However, once I accidentally found this website https://layboard.in/vacancies/jobs-in-uae/jobs-in-dubai/speciality/physiotherapist where I was able to look at vacancy that suits me well. If you also want to find something new for yourself, take a look at this.
