HR Director Joke
One day while walking down the street a highly successful HR Director was tragically
hit by a bus and she died. Her soul arrived up In heaven where she was met at the
Pearly Gates by St. Peter himself.
"Welcome to Heaven," said St. Peter. "Before you get settled in
though, it seems we have a problem. You see, strangely enough, we've never once had
a Human Resources Director make it this far and we're not really sure what to do with
you."
"No problem, just let me in," said the woman.
"Well, I'd like to," replied St. Peter, "but I have higher orders.
What we're going to do is let you have a day in Hell and a day in Heaven and then
you can choose whichever one you want to spend an eternity in."
"Actually, I think I've made up my mind, I prefer to stay in Heaven",
said the woman.
"Sorry, we have rules..." And with that St. Peter put the executive in
an elevator and it went down-down-down to hell. The doors opened and she found herself
stepping out onto the putting green of a beautiful golf course. In the distance was
a country club and standing in front of her were all her friends - fellow executives
that she had worked with and they were all dressed in evening gowns and cheering for
her. They ran up and kissed her on both cheeks and they talked about old times. They
played an excellent round of golf and at night went to the country club where she
enjoyed an excellent steak and lobster dinner. She met the Devil who was actually
a really nice guy (kinda cute)and she had a great time telling jokes and dancing.
She was having such a good time that before she knew it, it was time to leave. Everybody
shook her hand and waved goodbye as she got on the elevator. The elevator went up-up-up
and opened back up at the Pearly Gates and she found St. Peter waiting for her.
"Now it's time to spend a day in heaven," he said. So she spent the next
24 hours lounging around on clouds and playing the harp and singing.
She had a great time and before she knew it her 24 hours were up and
St Peter came and got her. "So, you've spent a day in hell and you've spent a
day in heaven. Now you must choose your eternity," he said.
The woman paused for a second and then replied, "Well, I never
thought I'd say this, I mean, Heaven has been really great and all, but I think I
had a better time in Hell."
So St. Peter escorted her to the elevator and again she went down-down-down
back to Hell. When the doors of the elevator opened she found herself standing in
a desolate wasteland covered in garbage and filth. She saw her friends were dressed
in rags and were picking up the garbage and putting it in sacks.
The Devil came up to her and put his arm around her. "I don't
understand," stammered the woman, "yesterday I was here and there was a
golf course and a country club and we ate lobster and we danced and had a great time.
Now all there is is a wasteland of garbage and all my friends look miserable."
The Devil looked at her and smiled. "Yesterday we were recruiting
you, Today you're staff...

RESUME Satire
My first job was working in an orange juice factory, but I got canned,
...couldn't concentrate.
Then I worked in the woods as a lumberjack, but I just couldn't hack
it, so they gave me the ax.
After that I tried to be a tailor, but I just wasn't suited for it
...mainly because it was a so-so job.
Next I tried working in a muffler factory but that was too exhausting.
Then I tried to be a chef-figured it would add a little spice to
my life, but I just didn't have the thyme.
I attempted to be a deli worker, but any way I sliced it, I couldn't cut the mustard.
My best job was being a musician, but eventually I found I wasn't
noteworthy.
I studied a long time to become a doctor, but I didn't have any patience.
Next was a job in a shoe factory; I tried but I just didn't fit in.
I became a professional fisherman, but discovered that I couldn't live on my net
income.
I managed to get a good job working for a pool maintenance company,
but the work was just too draining.
So then I got a job in a workout center, but they said I wasn't fit
for the job.
After many years of trying to find steady work I finally got a job
as a historian until I realized there was no future in it.
My last job was working at Starbucks, but I had to quit because it
was always the same old grind.
SO I RETIRED AND I FOUND I AM PERFECT FOR THE JOB
