Job satisfaction

 
  I came across this employment agency while on my travels
Now the Collins dictionary defines “Travail” as:
1. painfully difficult or burdensome work; toil 
2. pain, anguish or suffering resulting from mental or physical hardship
 
So what sort of jobs might they have on offer? Here are a couple of guesses:
 
Following the early retirement of Sisyphus, Zeus requires a replacement to complete his rockery. Would suit a young, fit, self-motivated person who is looking for guaranteed job security.
 
The Augean Stables are looking for a cleaner. The successful applicant will be expected to provide their own Marigold gloves and wages will be paid in sacks of well-rotted manure.
 
 
(An explanation. This was meant to be my Blip yesterday. Because my own photo is so out of focus, I used one from the company’s website. It was then removed from Blip, presumably because I did not own the copyright. This one might disappear as well because it’s such a terrible photo – my camera was playing up)
