What you're missing is the fact that the main thread [i.e. the one
running "the script", and that waits for the thread you call the method
on] is, well, a thread. So, you start with two threads [the main thread
and the jobs1 thread, for example], and end up with one [the main
thread]. This is why it's called join.
