Job offers can fill the coffers, unless you're Joe Offer. He don't get nuthin' 'cept maybe a lot of grief.

I wanted to object to Matt Williams' job offer...but it's too late now, anyway.

PS

Does Job rhymes with lob or lobe?

My guess is that it rhymes with lobe. Read the whole tragic story in the Bible and be warned, LH.

I hear Bro' Joe was offered the recently vacated job of pope but he turned it down. Somebody confused "King of Rome" with "King of Clones". And he wanted no part of that vow of chastity.

Well, if the new priest is already married when he becaomes a priest, hey, it's cool. The day could come when we see a married Pope. I ain't holdin' my breat, but it's possible--if not likely.

Okay, I get the play on Joe Offer's name, but I thought this thread was going to be about people turning down legitimate offers of employment.

I recently was asked to apply for an executive position job
[by someone who theorectically could have made sure I'd get the job].

But that job would have been all wrong for me. I thought about it, and prayed over it, and-to paraphrase a once overused folk saying-
'I just said no'.

I knew that if I had taken that job, I would have ended up drained and crazy. So I don't regret it at all.


Here's another New African proverb that speaks to this:

"[If you have a choice]It's better to struggle financially doing what you love than to spend your life energies working a job that doesn't suit you."

Well, I retired in 1999 and thought I'd never work again. But I got a job offer last week to work as a lay minister, and most likely I'll take it. It sounds like a good opportunity to do a number of things I've wanted to do. Shouldn't interfere with my Mudcat or family time much.
I wouldn't want to miss out on the Wit and Wisdom of Sh---les.

Oh dear. You mean Sh---les has become a four letter word?

"Work" is a four letter word.

Well, sometimes work is good, it just depends on the type of work.

****

Joe, since you had mentioned in another thread that you have been voluntarily performing some of the functions of a lay minister for a while, it seems as though officially working in that capacity will be ideal for you.

Congratulations!!

Good job offer, Joe offer. I'm with Azizi. Sounds like it's a wonderful opportunity to use your God-given talents to help others.

I reckon he is already doing that here, Jerry, so the new one should fit in well with mudcat.
