I have five tattoos in total. I like visiting places with graffiti. My mom owned a little coffee shop. My favorite tv show is friends. I do not own a car yet.
Speaker 2
I enjoy food and eat meat. I like snowboarding. I used to work for cisco. My favorite performer is charlie parker. I'm going to buy a new car.

My mom has a coffee shop. My mom sells hamburgers at her coffee shop. I don't have a car. I have tattoos. I have a full sleeve tattoo. I have a tattoo of my mom. I got my mom tattoo so my mom would give me free  stuff from her coffee shop for life.
Speaker 2
I like tattoos. I enjoy hamburgers. I once worked for Crisco. I snowboard. I made good money. I am retired. I am buying a new car. I am young.
Speaker 1
Hey do you like tattoos.
Speaker 2
Heya. Yes I do. I enjoy hamburgers too mm mm.
Speaker 1
Yes hamburgers are nice! My mum sells really good one's at her coffee shop.
Speaker 2
Nice. Tasty. I worked for cisco it was crazy. I just snowboard a lot now.
Speaker 1
Cool. Cisco.. So it? You must make good money!!
Speaker 2
Yup. Lots. I'm retired now. So I'm buying a nice new car. What do u drive?
Speaker 1
I don't have a car yet.. Sponsor me? Lol.
Speaker 2
Maybe I can. I'm young and retired. I am going to see charlie parker. He's great.
Speaker 1
Never heard of him. I just watch friends.
Speaker 2
That's an older show. So you asked about tats. You have any?
Speaker 1
I actually have five! Full sleeve. One of my mom.
Speaker 2
Nice. So you two are close then?
Speaker 1
I only got it so she would give me free items from her coffee shop for life.
Speaker 2
Wow. That's a pretty sweet deal. Lucky you.

Speaker 1
Do you think you could get me in the door at Crisco?
Speaker 2
I can definitely try! It has been a few years since I retired though. Some of their employees still use me as a consultant. What type of job are you looking for?
Speaker 1
Anything that pays well. My mom wants me to get a job and take her out to eat every now and then instead of just mooching off her baked goods. Lol. I don't have much experience. Do think there might be a starter position available?
Speaker 2
Haha! Mama always knows what's best! I will definitely keep an ear out for any entry-level openings. Have you been working at her coffee shop?
Speaker 1
Yup! Taste testing. So far so good! I don't think I can put that on my resumé though.
Speaker 2
I am sure there is a way to make it work on a resume! You should look into some guides on resume writing. You can turn almost anything into experience with the correct wording!
Speaker 1
In that case, I also have experience with counting the money in the cash register and distributing the proper percentage to myself, and also, I'm good at stealth. I'm able to hide pretty effectively when my grandma (who still squeezes my cheeks and calls me "little bunion") visits the shop... but that could also be because her eye sight has been going for a while. You are making me realize my skills may be better suited as a secret agent. But I suppose Cisco could also be the jump start to that career path.
Speaker 2
Well it is always good to keep your options open!
Speaker 1
You should've been a motivational speaker! It's never too late, you know.
Speaker 2
Well, did you know I do give lectures to college students every now and then!
Speaker 1
Are your lectures about how you were able to retire young? Or what do you lecture about?
Speaker 2
It varies! It depends on what type of event school/program hired me for. Most of the events topics are focused on strong leadership.

Speaker 1
I think I got a temp job at the local ad agency!
Speaker 2
Hey good for you! Maybe you can start making your own money and give your mom a break lol!
Speaker 1
Thanks! And yeah, you're probably right. Maybe soon I can buy a nice new car like you. What model are you getting?
Speaker 2
A Toyota Camry. I know it's not exciting, but I need something solid that will last a long time!
Speaker 1
That's smart. Can it fit all of your snowboarding gear?
Speaker 2
Yeah because the trunk is big and then I can fold the back seats down to fit the longboard. It's pretty sweet!
Speaker 1
Ah yes, cargo space. Good for road trips. I'm thinking I might get a rental car and go on one to celebrate my new job!
Speaker 2
Cool where do you want to go? I love a good road trip.
Speaker 1
I was thinking out west somewhere, maybe Arizona or Montana. I love the scenery out there. The people seem friendly too.
Speaker 2
Oh yeah the desert is so beautiful and there are so many cool national parks out there too.
Speaker 1
For sure. Now that my tax dollars are going to keep them open I figured I might as well go and enjoy them.
Speaker 2
Haha, that's a good way to look at it! Might need to do the same myself!

Speaker 1
I just had a phone call from the ad agency, they gave me the temp job. I am soooo happy now. 
Speaker 2
Congratulations!! When do you start?
Speaker 1
I start next week. I'm so excited. I hope I'll learn a lot of new skills. 
Speaker 2
I hope they put you to work and you're not just doing coffee runs all day, haha! What did your mom say when she found out?
Speaker 1
no worries! I think I'll be doing a lot more than coffee runs! and I think I can save up money for road trips and maybe meet you somewhere.  My mom just hoped that I would still have time for tastings at her shop. 
Speaker 2
Yes, we still need to take that road trip to Arizona! I'm sure you'll still find time to help your mom out too. 
Speaker 1
Right! Route 66 here we come! It's quite a bit south but Tombstone would be neat to walk around in too! Whatever you are up to! I know she worries but I'll always help my mom out. 
Speaker 2
The good thing about roadtrips is that you don't have to plan them 100%...you can just follow your whims! I was thinking about getting a Rt. 66 tattoo too.  Maybe a full themed sleeve would be cool too, but you have to start somewhere! What tattoo was your first?
Speaker 1
My first was pretty simple. flower on my upper arm. which grew into a vine. look into it that way, start little and think what can it grow into if you want it too? 
Speaker 2
Maybe mine can be a road instead of a vine! I'm sure together we could come up with tons of ideas.
Speaker 1
I would love to help you and go with you!  maybe it's a vine symbolic of a road? Tattoos are great
Speaker 2
I agree - they are great reminders of your life's story! Do you have any coffee tattoos?

The job starts next week. I hope to save enough money to take a road trip on Route 66. I'd like to visit Tombstone. I like tattoos. I have a flower tattoo on my upper arm that later became a vine.

I love road trips. I find the desert beautiful. I want to take a road trip to Arizona. I'm considering getting a tattoo of "Route 66." I think tattoos are a great record of one's journey through life.
Speaker 1
So have you made up your mind yet about your "Route 66" tattoo?
Speaker 2
I think so!  I think I am going to get it.   I have taken that drive before and it was one of my most memorable trips.    What is your next tattoo going to be?
Speaker 1
I am going to get a sleeve floral tattoo. I want it to be all black and white. Do you prefer color or greyscale tattoos?
Speaker 2
I like black and white best.  Are most of your tattoos black and white?   
Speaker 1
I have two that are colored, and the rest are black and white. I will probably only get black and white from now on.
Speaker 2
I think they look better over time personally.   How is your temp job going?  
Speaker 1
It's going well. I'm hoping to be hired on full time soon. The pay is nice, and I don't mind the work.
Speaker 2
Yeah, just try and save as much as you can early and then invest it.  That's how I was able to retire so early!  Have you thought anymore about taking a road trip?   I really love Arizona and have good tips if you decide to go.
Speaker 1
I would love to take a road trip. Arizona seems like it would be a fun trip! You will have to give me ideas of where to visit and what to do.
Speaker 2
Sedona was my favorite- so many cool hiking areas and it was a lot cooler temps then the rest of Arizona.    
Speaker 1
I'll have to keep that in mind! I want to go to the coolest place in Arizona that I possibly can!
Speaker 2
Grand Canyon is also amazing- but a pretty touristy.  Honestly just driving through the highways is like being in the movie "Cars".
