Hello! How are you doing?
Speaker 1
Pretty good. Happy to be halfway through the work week! How are you?.
Speaker 2
Surviving. What do you do for work?
Speaker 1
I'm a car salesman. It can be pretty exhausting. How about you?
Speaker 2
I work on computers. I sit so long working my backside hurts.
Speaker 1
Desk jobs can be strenuous! I like to make an effort to get outside on the weekends.

Music helps me get through the day. I like just about everything. What music do you like?

I love 5 finger death punch, they're awesome. Do you have a favorite band?

Speaker 1
That sounds dangerous! I love being outside too. I garden when the weather is nice.
Speaker 2
It's an extreme sport in china. I can't compete because I eat meat though.

Guess what?  I sold six cars since I spoke to you earlier!  It is a banner day for me!  I am celebrating with a little 5 finger air guitar.
Speaker 2
Heck yeah! That's awesome! I bet you're gonna celebrate this weekend!
Speaker 1
Of course I am, you bet! I managed to get tickets to a concert so I will celebrate there. Woohoo!
Speaker 2
How awesome! Is it FFDP?
Speaker 1
No actually, it is my mates band called "The Buckaroos" - they are real crazy. Their outfits are similar to those of Slipknots, if you have heard of them.
Speaker 2
I love Slipknot! That sounds like a really fun time.
Speaker 1
Do you really? Have you ever seen them live? Please tell me you have!
Speaker 2
Yep! I've seen them four or five times live actually. They're one of my favorite bands.
Speaker 1
I am so jealous. I only managed to see them once. Are you aware of the music video for which on of their fans gave them, and hundreds of others, permission to destroy their house for it?
Speaker 2
Haha, yeah! I remember reading about that.
Speaker 1
The song is "Duality", if you had forgotten which one it was. I am going to watch the video later on again. It is a great song with a great music video
Speaker 2
I was thinking it was one of their older songs. Hard to believe I used to listen to them in high school and still do today.

Speaker 1
I was jamming out to "Duality" for the millionth time to celebrate my car sales today! What a great band!
Speaker 2
That's awesome! How many sales did you make?
Speaker 1
I made 3 sales today, it was a record for me. I'm so happy. Hopefully I can get the promotion to sales manager this year.
Speaker 2
That's a huge number, especially given the commissions you must get. What kind of cut do you get per car?
Speaker 1
We get 25% of the gross profit of the car. How is your job? Are you looking for another?
Speaker 2
I'm trying to stick to it and deal with the physical and mental anguish haha. I might be up for a promotion pretty soon. What car brand do you mainly sell?
Speaker 1
We sell Hondas, so there is no problem getting them off the lot lol. What industry are you working in?
Speaker 2
Haha I feel like those were invented for people like me. Simple, efficient, and reliable. I'm still working in computers.
Speaker 1
Are you doing software development? That's like the hot field right now from what I've read. 
Speaker 2
I work mainly on hardware. We do a lot of custom builds for gamers and such. I've thought about working in software, but I enjoy working with my hands.
Speaker 1
That's cool, I always wanted to custom build my own PC but it seems intimidating with the liquid cooling and getting the right GPUs. 
Speaker 2
Maybe I can give you some pointers! It can be daunting, but once you know the secrets, it's a lot easier.

Speaker 1
Do you think you will be happier at your job after you get a promotion?
Speaker 2
I do think I will be a bit happier because of the additional money I will be getting. I think my quality of life will be improved. 
Speaker 1
I also feel like the self-confidence gained from a promotion helps in all areas of life.  Having goals is a good thing.
Speaker 2
Yes, I would agree with you. i always strive to make goals and accomplish the goals in a timely fashion. I feel that it keeps me grounded and constantly improving. 
Speaker 1
Yes exactly.  I love learning new things but get a little intimidated before I start.  Are you ever intimidated before starting a custom build?
Speaker 2
Yes, I am, but as I continue the build, it becomes easier as things start to fall into place. I find it rewarding when everything fits together well. 
Speaker 1
I can see that.  Selling cars is more methodical than creative but I would love to try to build my own PC.  Seems overwhelming to start though.
Speaker 2
It could be difficult, but if you download a worksheet/checklist that highlights all of the components needed to build a computer, it makes it easier. 
Speaker 1
I didn't even think about a worksheet.  Great advice.  Thanks.  I am looking toward a promotion also which is my main concern right now but I think I will search to find a worksheet to help in the future.
Speaker 2
I wish you the best of luck with the promotion! I think you would be a great fit in the new role.
Speaker 1
Thank you.  I have achieved a personal best recently and hope that it will be recognized.  I have never been a manager before so a little nervous if it happens but I know that I can learn and handle it.
Speaker 2
Well, I think that everything has a bit of a learning curve, but one you get into the role, you will do great!

Speaker 1
I finally had the talk with my boss about becoming a manager. He thinks it's a great idea!
Speaker 2
That is so exciting!  Will you be making a lot more?  I know Slipknot is going to have a stop in our area and those raises really help with the cost!
Speaker 1
Yes, I will be making almost $20k more each year! It is going to be very helpful with my bills and going to more concerts. My wife might even be able to quit work!
Speaker 2
Oh, that is going to be really nice!  You will be making that Corey Taylor money!  Will this also give you more free time you pursue your other hobbies?
Speaker 1
I will have to work more hours, but not too many. If my wife quits, we plan to remodel the house and make a bigger garden bed. You should come over and help us-maybe you could make something!
Speaker 2
I would really like that.  I've become quite the green thumb, if I do say so myself.  I guess I reached a point where I had to get creative to get the sort of food I wanted and nutrients I needed.
Speaker 1
The independence a big garden brings is very nice! Have you ever built any flowerbeds or  a trellis? We're thinking about laying bricks and making raised vegetable beds too. 
Speaker 2
I haven't done as much with flowerbeds, but I do have a trellis for some of my various vegetables.  I actually got it at the Home Depot.  I bet you could go there or a local Farmer's Market to get some expert opinions.
Speaker 1
Ah. That is a good idea, going to a Farmer's market-some of those people have done this for generations. What vegetables do you grow?
Speaker 2
I currently have squash, carrots, cucumbers, radishes, and sunflowers. Do you have any vegetables you have been thinking about growing?
Speaker 1
We grew melons, Tomatoes, corn, zucchini, Japanese purple potatoes and herbs last year. This year, we want to try peas, okra, and sweet potatoes. We also have some climbing roses that are almost too big for their pot
Speaker 2
Wow!  I might need to take pointers from you!  I had no idea your garden had so much variety.  I love Japanese purple potatoes and never even thought of using them.
