"Consequences… Give a person a situation with no consequences and you’ll see the real them… Every time."
Getting bored with her retirement, Celestia decides to try her luck in multiple occupations… and gets kicked out of each one.
Meta:
The story is marked as 'complete,' but if you liked it you may add it to your watch list. I may add more chapters later when I think of something else fitting for Celestia to mess up

This story gave me a nice laugh. Maybe Sunbutt will have better luck with her next post-retirement job
.
Twilight had to have gotten her perfectionist side from somewhere
DETAILS, Tia! Always remember the details.
I suggest she next try her hoof at being a baker's assistant at a five-star restaurant. We all know her love of cakes, so that should provide plenty of comedy material.
I came for the adorable Celestia in glasses. I liked the story because I just felt I could relate to Celestia.

What so she can eat the products before they can get to the customer?

I wouldn't count on it happening in this story. More of epic failures, though? Definitely

Hmm, that is an interesting idea. She knows how to cook quite well, judging by the things she made for Luna in 'Between Dark and Dawn.' But letting her inside a sugar-filled bakery would be like letting a junkie into a pharmacy... it could only end up well

Cute, aren't they? My four hours of searching Derpi for a proper cover paid off

100% glasses make anything at leas 20% more adorable
Ha, that was funny.
I guess ruling a country for 1000+ years got her into a bit of a rut.
Luna would have a better time as a mail mare (I think).
Funny fanfic. An idea : Odd jobs for the other princesses after their own retirement, with similar results.
And they never did find his body.
It’s be funny if Luna did a better job

Can't argue with that:

It could work... if Luna could handle her Canterlot Voice. Otherwise, I predict something like this:

If I think of something workable for the rest of the gang, I'll definitely give it a shot

In the initial ending, Quick Take was supposed to berate and make fun of Celestia for wasting his precious time, only to see the Moon popping above the horizon:
But I thought that blasting ponies to the Moon joke is overused. Although, it would be funny to see Twilight's reaction
11257897
Judging by Luna's temper, she would be good at pushing people around. Though, in her case, a job of a drill sergeant would probably be a better fit
.

Is it strange that I can actually buy Celestia thinking Pinkie would somehow feel better about her assistant smuggling drugs into her bakery than eating all the powdered sugar?
I mean, I suppose if it kept Celestia away from the powdered sugar Pinkie might just arrange for it herself...hmm...
11257968
Judging by how energetic Pinkie is all the time, something tells me she wouldn't have to 'arrange' for anything. She would just share a part of her own stash
The comments on about Luna not being able to control her temper kinda make me want a story where Best Princess becomes a waitress and accidently turns the place into one of those gimmicks where you go to be abused by the staff. So yeah Lulu is just bad at her new job but ponies start coming in so they can get yelled at by a former princess.

Okay So I think I'm going to write this .
11258519
Wait, what? That's a real thing
? You learn something new every day 
Please do! I want to read that
!

I've never personally been to one but yeah they are real.
I've already started. If I had to guess I'm probably about halfway through. I should have everything wrapped up today or tomorrow. It mostly depends on how far I decide to stretch it. If I can convince my friend to draw the cover art I want for it I'll give her what ever time she wants to work on it before posting. If she declines I'll just forego that and post it when its finished.
Sorry, I can’t suspend my disbelief on this one. Amusing concept, but I just can’t make this gag fit with Celestia.
11260972
I understand; sorry it didn't work for you
.
The initial version had Trixie in Celestia's place. It was probably more believable, but having Trixie messing things up wouldn't surprise anyone, so I switched to someone who seems more responsible. Maybe the story would have worked better with Mrs. Great and Powerful. It's hard to tell.
Anyway, thanks for the comment. I appreciate it

Maid Cafe with the various cliched personalities; moe, kawaii, tsundere, sadistic, motherly and so on...
For extra lols, use the wrong pony a few times for the personality position they must perform (ex. a very "moe" Fluttershy as tsundere or a rather "sadistic" Chrysalis as kawaii)
I say more stories!!!! Maybe next she can be a teacher that transfers the best student to a different district, somehow

I'm trying to get myself around to writing more stuff. Ideas are there, but so is the writing block
.
But I'll definitely get back to it, hopefully soon - stay tuned
