deferred class JOB
Summary
top
The job's life will looks like : 
  do
     prepare
     if is_ready then
        continue
  repeat while not done
If the same job has to live again, restart is called.
Note: never change a job's priority after inserting it in loop_item. 
      Priority should only be set at creation time.
