George and Crystal discuss job options for college students.

 

George: Where are you working these days?

Crystal: I'm working at the restaurant around the station.

George: What's it like working in a restaurant?

Crystal: Well, it's ... busy times are busy, but boring sometimes. It's just usual work: washing dishes, serving and then that it's pretty much. Not a big deal job. I really like it, but at the same time I'm looking for more. I think I should look for a desk job or something.

George: Oh, a desk job!

Crystal: What about you?

George: I don't know. Maybe I could work at a ... maybe a clothing store.

Crystal: Oh, really!

George: I do enjoy fashion, and I need to update my wardrobe, so a little discount would be nice.

Crystal: I hear that there's a opening at Bloomingdale's.

George: Oh, awesome!

Crystal: You should give it a try.

George: Maybe. But then again I'm not a very ... I'm not really a people person, though.

Crystal: A people person! What do you mean?

George: I can't just go up to new people and start talking to them. It's a little difficult for me.

Crystal: Well, on my point of view, I think that's a little ... sometimes I think that's sort of a little annoying. One time like this lady at the market, she just started talking me, "Oh, this looks good on you!" OK, I don't need that. You know.

George: Yes, they use some very strong mind tricks to get you to buy things.

Crystal: Yeah. Well, you're good with mind tricks aren't you?

George: I'm good at being played by mind tricks, but now good at doing mind tricks.

Crystal: Aye! Well, I guess you still have nine months left.

George: Yeah, it's a little depressing though.
