Speaker 1
I am very shy. I love shopping online. My dad was very overprotective. I love country music, particularly randy travis. I stay home with my children. I enjoy watching movies.
Speaker 2
I'm a painter. I like making music. I don't want a boss. I try to love everyone. I live within my means.
Speaker 1
I like country music. My friends and I saw Randy Travis in concert. I have kids. I love to shop online for knick knacks and items for my children. I'm currently not working.
Speaker 2
Music brings me a lot of joy. I compose music. I'm trying to cut down on my spending.
Speaker 1
Do you like music?
Speaker 2
Yes, you could say it is a great source of joy for me.
Speaker 1
Do you have a favorite genre? I enjoy country music.
Speaker 2
Everything really, I compose as well as listening to it. Have you been to a concert?
Speaker 1
Wow that's awesome. I've been to a randy travis concert before.
Speaker 2
That's great. Did you go alone or with friends?
Speaker 1
I went with friends. It was pretty fun. Have you went to any?
Speaker 2
Nice, hope you had a good time. Not recently, have been trying to not spent that much.
Speaker 1
I get that I love online shopping but gotta to be careful not get carried away!
Speaker 2
Haha, what do you usually buy? Are you working at least?
Speaker 1
Stuff for my kids and knick knacks. I'm not working currently so I'm scaling back.
Speaker 2
How many kids do you have?.
0

Speaker 2
Music brings me a lot of joy. I compose music. I'm trying to cut down on my spending.
Speaker 1
I've decided to start looking for work to pay for my shopping addiction.
Speaker 2
Omg i should do the same thing i cant help but keep spending way too much. What sort of job are you looking for?
Speaker 1
Somthing at a call center or doing data entry. I think working retail would defeat the purpose of me getting a job.
Speaker 2
But maybe they will give you discount if you work in retail at least that way you wouldn't have to spend so much. But yeah something in data entry seems to be a good choice.
Speaker 1
That is what I am afraid of. Store employee discounts Hahah. With Call center and Data Entry I can do it remotely from home and that would be best since I have school age children. 
Speaker 2
Yes it is very hard to find a good job that can work around children. But that sound like it would be perfect. Most at home jobs are super flexible when it come to what hours you work. 
Speaker 1
Exactly. It is why I am not currently working and the cost of proper Day care these days is ridiculous.  
Speaker 2
Exactly kinda of no point in working as you literally working to pay them to watch your kids and basically have no income left over. 
Speaker 1
Yup. My brother and sister in law had to pay so much for Daycare that it was actually going to save them money if my SIL quit her job and stayed home with the kids. 
Speaker 2
You would think they would help out with people that actually wanted to work. Oh well the system is just a little behind logic i guess.
Speaker 1
I agree.  I just got an email saying I got the Remote Data entry job. YAY go me.   
Speaker 2
OMG. Congratulations you deserve it. Hope you celebrate.

I like country music. My friends and I saw Randy Travis in concert. I have kids. I love to shop online for knick knacks and items for my children. I'm currently not working. I am looking for a job. I would like to find a job in a call center or data entry. I would like to work from home. I have school aged children. I recently got an email saying I was hired for a data entry job. I have a shopping addiction. I have a brother. My brother is married with children.
Speaker 2
Music brings me a lot of joy. I compose music. I'm trying to cut down on my spending. I have a shopping addiction. I spend too much money.
Speaker 1
I just received the training software for the data entry job I was hired for and looks like I have a lot to learn. 
Speaker 2
How do you feel about it? Do you still want to do the job?
Speaker 1
Well, I do need to make money somehow. How else can I feed my love of shopping? Kidding. Kind of.
Speaker 2
Haha, I get that though, when you go shopping what are you usually looking for?
Speaker 1
Eh, I'm always looking at random things, like collectibles and things I think my kids would like. I think the last thing I bought was an old Precious Moments figure. Remember those? I also bought some clothes for my kids during this great sale. 
Speaker 2
I don't remember those figures at all...are they toys? And that nice that you get things for your kids. You dont get anything for yourself?
Speaker 1
They're ceramic figures of little kids being cute, basically. I have a curio cabinets with figures and other knickknacks inside. Those are for me - I just like looking at them. 
Speaker 2
I totally understand, I like to buy things myself. I'm spend way too much money on shoes
Speaker 1
Oooh, I like shoes, too. Especially cute sandals. I think I probably have 20 pairs of sandals. What do you have the most of?
Speaker 2
It's bad, I buy basketball shoes that I don't even wear. I know there are probably people that hate me for that
Speaker 1
Hey, it's your money, right? If you like them, you like them!
Speaker 2
I feel kind of bad sometimes because I know some people wait forever for these and I seem to be able to get whatever shoes I want

I would like to find a job in a call center or data entry. I would like to work from home. I have school aged children. I recently got an email saying I was hired for a data entry job. I have software to teach me my new job. I have a shopping addiction. I have a brother. My brother is married with children. I need to make money. I shop for random items. I like to buy collectibles. I shop for kids clothing. I have bought Precious Moment figurines. I have a curio cabinet to display my figurine collection. I enjoy searching for figurines. I like to buy shoes. I like sandals. I have 20 pairs of sandals.
Speaker 2
Music brings me a lot of joy. I compose music. I'm trying to cut down on my spending. I have a shopping addiction. I spend too much money. I do not know what Precious Moment figurines are. I like to spoil myself when I shop. I spend a lot of money on shoes. I like to buy basketball shoes. I don't wear all the shoes I have. I feel guilty sometimes that I am fortunate to be able to spoil myself with shoes.
Speaker 1
Since you sometimes feel guilty for having too many shoes, have you ever considered donating the shoes you don't like anymore? 
Speaker 2
You know, I have! I was talking to my friend about it and she said she thought that would be gross! I was really disappointed, because I thought it would be helpful. Do you have any suggestions of where I could take them?
Speaker 1
I would say check your community for local thrift stores or donation centers, they usually are very accomodating and many help out those who need clothes donations.
Speaker 2
I will have to do that. I am glad you don't think there is anything wrong with it. Thank you! Have you ever donated items?
Speaker 1
I have, but mostly items belonging to my family like my children's old clothes. They tend to grow out of it so fast it makes sense for me to donate it them to those that need it as oppose to throwing them away. I in particular have a tendency to keep my items much longer until they are unsuitable for donation.
Speaker 2
I bet you are hanging on to your Precious Moments figurines! I still haven't seen them when I have been out shopping. Where do you find those?
Speaker 1
I mostly look online to find them being sold that I can ship to my house, they are sold often on marketplace stores such as Ebay or Amazon. I also look in antique stores for them, sometimes I find one that I can add to my collection.
Speaker 2
Ya, I'm probably not looking in the right kind of stores. I'm mostly going into clothing and shoe stores. But hey! You mentioned antique stores...I wonder if they have any at the thrift stores. I could look when I drop off my shoes!

Speaker 1
Did you find a place to donate your shoes?
Speaker 2
I did!  I was driving to the grocery store the other day, when I noticed a bin labeled "Donation for Shoes and Clothing."  It was easier than I thought!  How about you?  Why do you have so many pairs of sandals?
Speaker 1
I don't understand myself! When I look them online I just have the urge to buy them, even when I know I don't need them. This addiction is getting worse and worse.
Speaker 2
I completely agree that buying shoes can become an addiction!  Are there any ways you can make money from home while waiting for a job offer from a call center?  
Speaker 1
Well I already got the job so I just need to learn using the software. When I was still searching for jobs, we actually do a yard sale to sell many of my random items that are never used and clearly aren't needed either. 
Speaker 2
Congratulations on getting the job!  I know it'll help you out so much.  And of course, maybe I should turn to yard sales as well, for they can be a great way to make some extra cash!  
Speaker 1
Do you have another job or do you compose music for a living? How does your shopping addiction go?
Speaker 2
As a matter of fact, I do have another job in addition to composing music.  I'm actually a music teacher at a private school, and on the side, I compose music for friends and family.  As far as my shopping addiction goes, it's getting better.  I promised myself that I wouldn't buy myself any more shoes this year!
Speaker 1
Ah, I remember the time I promised myself the same thing on not buying random things anymore, never work so far. Good luck with yours!  
Speaker 2
Thanks!  I need the good luck wishes.  I've been avoiding malls and shopping outlets.  Maybe you can try the same!  
Speaker 1
I can avoid them physically, but with my job enable me sitting in front of my computer for a long period of time, I already turn the shopping addiction into online-shopping addiction. lol. Wish me luck!
Speaker 2
Sure thing!  You know, and speaking of spending time before a computer, I need to look up information about Precious Moments figurines.  I'd still like to know what they are!
