I get tired of people calling me a'ginger. 'I work hard to support my family. I'm thinking about quitting my job. I like old punk music. I like to cook out on the grill on the weekends.
Speaker 2
I live by the ocean. I used to be an accountant. I am ready to embark on a new career and life. Now I am a freelance entrepreneur. My dog is truly my best friend.
Speaker 1
My name is Tracy.  I am a good cook. I am considering quitting my job.  I want to be a punk rocker. I like retro punk music. I have a family. People sometimes call me Ginger. I paint. I like to grill pizza.
Speaker 2
I can't cook.  I am a freelance entrepreneur. I used to be an accountant. I enjoy working with numbers. I am considering a new career. I have a dog.  My dog is my best friend. I live near the ocean.
Speaker 1
Hi, my name is tracy and I am good cook. You?
Speaker 2
Hello! I am an awful cook, but I am a freelance entrepreneur. What do you do?
Speaker 1
Great! If I could I would quit my job and listen to retro punk music. You sing?
Speaker 2
I don't sing but I'm ready to try a new career soon.
Speaker 1
Hmmm... It's hard taking care of my family but I do it out of love. You dance?
Speaker 2
I dance a little. Mostly with my dog, who is my best friend.
Speaker 1
Awe.... I wish people stop calling me by my nickname ginger. You paint?
Speaker 2
I live near the ocean so the scenery is beautiful to paint. Do you paint?.
Speaker 1
Yes. I also love to grill pizza on the weekends. Any hobbies?
Speaker 2
It sounds boring but I enjoy numbers. I previously worked as an accountant.
Speaker 1
Really? I am thinking of quitting my job and become punk rocker. You have any lottery numbers?
Speaker 2
That's very...punk rock of you! I don't have lottery numbers but 7 is always lucky!

Speaker 1
Do a lot of people ask you for tax advice?
Speaker 2
No not a lot of people. My family has asked before but unless they are going to pay me then I tell them to just go see a professional
Speaker 1
I guess that makes sense that you don't want to do work for free. 
Speaker 2
No I don't think people think about that when they ask for free labor, hah
Speaker 1
I'm sure they don't. they probably feel like since they know you they can get help with it. they wouldn't go to someone they don't know and ask for free services though. 
Speaker 2
No, which is why I always suggest they go pay for some service. Have you quit your job yet?
Speaker 1
not yet. I'm worried that my music career won't work out and then I'll be left homeless. 
Speaker 2
WOw yeah that wouldn't be good at all. Do you want to be famous or just make enough money to live?
Speaker 1
I just want to make a living doing what I love, which is making punk music. 
Speaker 2
Have you thought about taking on a smaller side job so you still have some money coming in and just live stiff for a while?
Speaker 1
not really. I could maybe do delivery stuff where I can choose my own hours I guess. 
Speaker 2
Yeah like those companies that bring people their takeout or groceries, those are very popular and if you live in a city, could be lucrative!

Speaker 1
I was thinking about what you suggested, doing delivery service work on the side to make money. Do you mind telling me more about what you know about those services?
Speaker 2
you should try doing door dash. it is easy to sign up for and you pick up orders when you feel like it. with options like that you can constantly make money on the side at your time of convenience
Speaker 1
That sounds good. It could be something I could try before deciding to quit my full time ob. Do you know if they have a minimum hours a week to work?
Speaker 2
No they don't have a minimum. You choose when to work and how long you want to work for. It is a very flexible job to have.
Speaker 1
Cool. That sounds a lot better then driving for a ride share service. I don't want strangers in my car. 
Speaker 2
I think so too. Especially in the world we live in nowadays you can never be too carefully around strangers. I eard so may horror stories about uber and other services like them 
Speaker 1
Very true. And with the flexible schedule hopefully I could get some gigs for my Punk Band. We are looking to play in bars downtown.
Speaker 2
With doordashing you are able to interact with people and most likely develop connections to certain people who can get you more gigs and have a better platform for your band 
Speaker 1
I hadn't thought of that. I can scout out locations when I pick up food. Great idea!
Speaker 2
Always got to look outside the box and think about those connections you can make. I am trying to get a marketing job and i made connection with people in those line of work ad they are helping with it 
Speaker 1
That's great. I'm glad it's working for you. I'll definitely take your advice.
Speaker 2
sounds good man. Best of luck to you and your bandmates

I like to grill pizza. I love making punk music. I'd like to make a living doing it. I have not thought about doing a small side job to make money. I would consider doing delivery services. I'm looking for a small part time job to make some extra money on the side. If I hit it off with this small part time job, I could potentially be looking at making it a career for myself. I like working independently. I'm in a band so with a job controlling my work hours makes it perfect to keep doing what I do and love best.
Speaker 2
I can't cook.  I am a freelance entrepreneur. I used to be an accountant. I enjoy working with numbers. I am considering a new career. I have a dog.  My dog is my best friend. I live near the ocean. My family asks me for tax advice. I do not like to work for free. I have all of the knowledge of Door Dash to get my friend the help they need. I love connecting with people. It broadens up my resume and my work experience.
Speaker 1
I've told my band about all the awesome advantages with this new job and they cannot wait for me to get started. 
Speaker 2
That's excellent, Tracy! What do you do now? Who do you work for?
Speaker 1
I'm a receptionist for a small accounting and bookkeeping firm.
Speaker 2
Oh, nice! Have you had any unpleasant experiences with clients or staff?
Speaker 1
Not with clients. My boss is overbearing and I have a coworker who is unbelievably annoying.
Speaker 2
Oh, that's unfortunate. I suppose that there are going to be annoying co-workers and bosses at every job. That's why I decided to go solo. It's a lot better not having to deal with annoying folks.
Speaker 1
How's the freelance work going, btw?
Speaker 2
It's going alright. It's a bit of a grind trying to get clients and all that, but at least I get to do it from the comfort of my home office. 
Speaker 1
I bet the dress code is rough ... I hear you make yourself wear pants, hahaha. I'd love to be my own boss, that's why I'm looking to do parttime delivery work and go full time with my band
Speaker 2
That's a really good idea! The only downside is a far less consistent income, but if you're alright with that, it's definitely worth a go.
Speaker 1
Yeah but I can smooth it out by hitting it hard when we don't have gigs and then turning it off when we do. I can also do multiple delivery services or rideshare at once. I also heard about this thing called mturk I might supplement with.
Speaker 2
That's a good point. There are plenty of jobs available across different platforms, so there's always something to do. I think you should really seriously consider it, then. It'll be a lot better than working for an overbearing boss.

I am a receptionist for a small accounting & bookkeeping firm. My boss is overbearing. I have a coworker who is annoying. I would like to work for myself. I am looking to work part time making deliveries and work full time with my band. I can do multiple delivery services or rideshare at once.

Speaker 1
I have decided to try working part time doing deliveries!
Speaker 2
That's so great! Congratulations! Are you going to quit your receptionist job and focus full time on your band now, or are you going to wait to see how it goes first?
Speaker 1
Oh no. I am putting in my 2 weeks notice on Monday. I am over that job. I need to follow my heart, ya know?
Speaker 2
Yes, I totally agree with you and am so happy for you that you are finally doing it. Is your band excited that your focus will be more on the music going forward?
Speaker 1
I think they are still in a "we'll believe it when we see it" phase. I have been talking about leaving this job forever.
Speaker 2
I get that, but it sounds to me that you are very committed to the band and this is a step in the right direction. How do you think your boss is going to take the news?
Speaker 1
Thank you for your support! Means a lot to me! I don't think my boss is going to show that he cares. He will probably tell me I am making a bad decision. 
Speaker 2
Well all that matters is that you think you are making the right decision. You can always get another receptionist job, but that's not what makes you happy and you can recognize it. You don't always get a chance to follow your dreams!
Speaker 1
And I hear that I can make some reasonable money with these gig jobs. A little nervous about getting started. Any advice fo
Speaker 2
Honestly, my best advice would be to arrive on time for deliveries, and always communicate with the customer. That will maximize the amount of tips you get and save you time, which in this type of job, really means money!
Speaker 1
Dang! That is some solid advice. I will try my best. I do get easily distracted with instagram.
Speaker 2
I would really try to focus on the job at hand so you don't get distracted! That way, you could make a lot more money in less time and do the Instagram scrolling later in the day once you are done with deliveries!
