I had an argument with my Dad yesterday. He still thinks I should join the Navy.
Speaker 2
I think you should do whatever you please!
Speaker 1
Thank you for that encouragement. Thats so nice. How are you?
Speaker 2
Good thanks. Just got home from work actually! Truck driving can be exhausting on your behind.
Speaker 1
Are you driving the truck for the farm or another job? I hate being in a car for a long time. Makes my behind go numb.
Speaker 2
Yep, I transport food to and fro! It's good honest work but I won't lie, I think it ages my body a bit. Do you ever listen to country music in the car?
Speaker 1
Oh nice. I'm sure it is hard on your body. Thats the only music I listen to when I am driving. Do you have a favorite country song?
Speaker 2
Yeah! My favorite country song is anything by Billy Ray Cyrus! How about you?
Speaker 1
I like his new song, I Want My Mullet Back. I'm a Garth Brooks lover. I Got Friends in Low Places is my favorite probably.
Speaker 2
ME TOO! I love Garth Brooks as well. Any good music artists in France and Spain?
Speaker 1
I used to know them all but now I  only listen to American music. 
Speaker 2
Cool. Did you live there because of your dad?

Speaker 1
Have you ever been to a Billy Ray Cyrus live show? 
Speaker 2
sadly no... I never had enough money to afford tickets.
Speaker 1
I bet he puts on a fantastic show; I'm not sure if he tours anymore, but I think he's doing a few live events in Florida this summer.
Speaker 2
maybe we can go! I have enough money saved up so we can make it a whole vacation.
Speaker 1
I wish I could, but I just started a new job and I don't think I can ask for time off yet.
Speaker 2
darn.  what's the new job?
Speaker 1
Nothing too exciting, just working the front desk at a hotel. Still, it will give me a little breathing room and time to think about what I want to do in the future. I know I definitely do not want to join the military like my dad, and I am also not big on the idea of going back to school. I just need to find my passion. Do you feel like truck driving and helping out on the farm are what you want to do forever?
Speaker 2
yes.  driving tractors is definitely my favorite thing to do.  Plus I love just being out on the open road and exploring the country.
Speaker 1
I wish I could find something that I really love doing, but I just seem to be very apathetic towards most things. I do like music, maybe I could do something with that?
Speaker 2
that's a good idea.  Can you play any instruments?
Speaker 1
No, I definitely can't make music at all. I do, however, love listening to music and sharing my thoughts on it with others.
Speaker 2
maybe you could become a music reviewer?

Speaker 1
I thought of a cool career to look into! 
Speaker 2
Oh really? What would that be? I always have my eyes open for career change opportunities.
Speaker 1
I saw a job that involved creating and testing new jelly bean flavors!  That would be kinda fun!
Speaker 2
Whoa! You must be brave! I wonder how that works... do they just make random flavors and the test subjects tell them what it most tastes like, and that becomes the name of the taste?
Speaker 1
Well, in the video I saw, they have like a giant storeroom full of every flavoring known to man, and a masterbook of recipes that combine to make different basic flavors.  Basically they just think up stuff, and then tweak the standard recipe until they are satisfied and then test it. 
Speaker 2
I wonder if they can make tastes based on smells of things that one doesn't usually taste. And I wonder if they make tastes that imitate sounds. You know, abstract mixing of the senses in an artistic way. Would you pitch it to them when you start working there for me?
Speaker 1
Sure! But I probably had better come up with a few winners first before I go to far into the breach! haha.  It's an intriguing idea though. Like, what would the sound of a flute taste like?
Speaker 2
Exactly! And you could box it in a way that when they open the box, a flute song plays. And they basically eat jelly beans to soothing flute music. It could be really cool for children with sensory development issues.
Speaker 1
Wow! Maybe you and I should just go into the jelly bean business for ourselves! lol You live on a farm, so we'd have access to plenty of corn syrup! haha
Speaker 2
We should. Or we could just give the idea away to the universe and hope the little seed takes root in the mind of a more industrious person!
Speaker 1
How about renting it instead of giving it away?  I do need to make some money! 
Speaker 2
You can totally be the contact person with Jelly Bean company. Sell the idea to them and donate my portion to some autism foundation.

I aspire to start a new restaurant.
