Hi, Mary!
Hello, Phil. How are you?
I'm fine. Where are you headed?
Oh, I'm on my way home from work.
I didn't know you had a job.
Yeah. I work part-time at a supermarket.
What do you do there?
I work in the produce section. Wrapping fresh fruit and vegetables. I also stock shelves. Sometimes when it really gets busy, I work at the check-out counter. Have you got a job, Phil?
Yeah. I do yard work for people. You know, cutting grass, pulling weeds, things like that.
I'd like doing that. It must be nice to work outdoors.
Sometimes it is, except when it rains or snows or gets too hot or too cold or...
Ha-ha. I guess every job has its shortcomings. There are times when I get really tired of carrying things around at my job. But a job's a job. Got to earn money for school.
Me, too. Tuition fee is high, isn't it? Well, I'd better get going. I've got to plant some trees for my neighbors this afternoon.
Well. Don't work too hard. Holding down a job, going to class, studying. Sometimes it can become too much for one person. Take it easy.
