He saw the strange terminal outside the job centre that was clearly new. He needed a job and dealing with the job centre was just depressing.

On the screen it just said “FIND YOUR IDEAL JOB HERE” so he touched the start button and instantly the device started doing something.

Strangely for some reason it just spitted out a piece of paper at the bottom which he collected. It read, “CONSTRUCTION WORKER”

What? He had been to uni and everything? Surely not. Stupid thing must be broken. Wait, what did it say? Fucking letters hurt to read.

He looked down and saw his dirty jumper and jeans. He took a sniff, yeah fuck that was the smell of a hard worker. Construction? Yeah, real job that.

He walked off still in his daze to the nearest construction site. I’m sure a few days hard work will sort him out.
