My name is Memoire Lane. I'm on the trail to great town of Ponyville from the cramped city of Canterlot. So far...I can say "Thank Celestia" I left that place, er, not to say I hate her home-place or anything. Well...let me start it out in simple terms to describe what is going on right now.
Canterlot's job market...well...it's complicated. You see, It is very hard to find a job and, not to mention, maintain the job. Each job I try to take ends up in failure, and by "failure," any reason you can come up with for being fired from it. The great library in the castle as my first job? Well...I misplaced an important scroll. Being a waiter as my second job: Got fired for tripping while serving hot tea to two customers. For my third job, which was delivering food supplies to restaurants: Got fired for not being fast enough. For my fourth job, as a carpenter in the shop: They had to fire me and a couple of other stallions because the owner could not keep up with the costs.
I could go on about how and why I lost my jobs...but apparently I lost count. I'm a bit disappointed, but I treasured some good memories of working there. Some of the memories from funny jokes and time spent together, to helping others and admitting faults in some areas so the other person could not be blamed. Like that one time when my fellow pony waitress described the great news in her family and-...Oh sorry. I got carried away...haha. I guess it was no mistake when my mother named me Memoire.
Anyways, back to the story. My father noticed me having trouble maintaining a job in Canterlot and suggested a quaint town called Ponyville, which, he says, has a lot of opportunities. I don't know how much, but the way he talked about it seemed very interesting to check out. There are salons, bakeries, farms, accounting, library, costumes, clothing, architectures, carpentry, restuarants, cafes, flower shops, accessory stands, painting, sculpting, bowling managing, and...well...he wasn't lieing about opportunities!
I looked on ahead and noticed I was close to Ponyville. My hooves are tired after constant walking and running for more than 4 hours. I wish I could have afford a train there. Oh, did I mention trains? No? Well, that's another one for a job. Whatever...first thing when I lay my hoof on the first patch of Ponyville, I'll pass out and rest!
...
When I approached the fence bordering the entrance to Ponyville, I sat right by it and rested. Whew...One thing for sure, that is my exercise for the day! I took a good look around me while sitting down. At the very least, not as crowded as Canterlot, thank Celestia! (again!) I could see many opportunities in the area. My father was right: many jobs I could do! I could even have my own house here rather than a cramped apartment back in Canterlot! Hmm, lets see here...
I decided to get up slowly and take a small stroll and record in my mind what I should try out...
Up on that Hill, there was a farmhouse. A little long walk...probably will take ten minutes on a stroll.
I took a peek at some peculiar buildings from far away...that dollhouse-looking building looks intriguing.
I smelled something delicious earlier from that delicious-looking house...wonder if the house is edible.
I saw some animals earlier flocking to a lone residence...maybe some sort of zoo or veterinarian?
According to the map of Ponyville I had in my stash, that huge tree is actually a Library.
There's an office almost right below Cloudsdale where Pegasi and ponies like me which seems related to delivering.
Decisions, decisions...
