What do you do at McDonald's?
Speaker 2
I work as a cashier and a drive thru manager.
Speaker 1
That's great! How did you get to be a manager? I am still only a cashier
Speaker 2
When you work at McDonald's for ten years, you learn just about everything about the restaurant which makes you more inclined to be a decent manager!
Speaker 1
That makes sense! I have only been there for 2 years. I admire your accomplishments!
Speaker 2
Thank you! How is your sister doing?
Speaker 1
Oh she is doing wonderful! Thanks for asking. I just went to visit her and her husband last weekend. I had such a good time.
Speaker 2
Oh, that's awesome to hear! What did you guys end up doing together?
Speaker 1
We visited a local sunflower farm/field! They were almost twice as tall as me! You should check it out! It's not far from the outlet malls.
Speaker 2
Holy cow that sounds incredible! Did there happen to be any nice rosebushes in the area? If the sunflowers are as incredible as you describe, I can only imagine the roses that could be grown! I'll definitely need to check it out soon!
Speaker 1
You know what? I did notice a few bushes along the fence line near the parking lot! I was just so distracted by the crazy amount of sunflowers that I almost forgot!
Speaker 2
I'm going to have to go there now! Because just imagining the refreshing smells that would come from the roses and the view of the sunflowers makes me antsy to check it out!

Speaker 1
As a manager at McDonald's can you give me some tips about how to get promoted?
Speaker 2
A big part of it is a willingness to show initiative. Volunteering to do things that everyone else can't be bothered with and taking an interest in the business as a whole can really line you up for a promotion in your boss's eyes.
Speaker 1
wow does a really good one. i never thought of it. I'll do more volunteering now. How do you like being a drive thru manager at McDonald's?
Speaker 2
It can be difficult managing other people sometimes. You never know what to expect, especially when people come and go so quickly in this line of work. You've really got to stay on your toes when it comes to how you deal with people. Sometimes no matter what you do, there's no good answer. But I try to make the most of it and enjoy myself each day. It's important not to let yourself get burned out.
Speaker 1
I totally understand you. What do you do with your spare time whenever you are not working?
Speaker 2
I do some reading and gardening here and there, much like you. I also like to watch football and go fishing. Do you have any other hobbies?
Speaker 1
I like playing chess but I mostly spend my time reading John Grisham's books. You said you love reading his books, didn't you?
Speaker 2
Yes, although I haven't had a chance to look at any in a decently long time now. Do you have any suggestions?
Speaker 1
Yeah, try reading "Before the fall". Really interesting.
Speaker 2
My sister gave me that for my birthday a couple of months back, but I hadn't gotten around to it yet. Maybe I'll give that one a try soon then.

Speaker 1
I just made an Audiobook account, maybe that is something to consider in your busy day-to-day
Speaker 2
That might not be a bad idea. What book have you downloaded so far?
Speaker 1
I'm working my way through the "Sooley" by Grisham. The reading of "The Mist" by Stephen King is fantastic too.
Speaker 2
That King book is definitely too scary for me. Does it cost money? How much is it?
Speaker 1
You pay $5 a month. You do get one book free a month so the value is there for the subscription. The books vary
Speaker 2
That would be good for me to listen to while I garden. Thanks again for the idea. Got any cool plans coming up?
Speaker 1
Nothing yet - I might try and go into the city for some shopping to change things up. One week country, one city.
Speaker 2
I wish I had time for some of that. They've got me working 70 hours next week.
Speaker 1
Wow! Overtime must be nice but that's not sustainable. What do you do to take time for yourself besides gardening?
Speaker 2
Well, over the summer I still do my fishing. but in a few months football is finally back!
Speaker 1
I know! I hope the Jets have a decent year, but there is zero indication they well.
Speaker 2
Zach Wilson might be good! At least maybe they would be worth watching.

Speaker 1
I've started reading a new Grisham book.
Speaker 2
Which one are you reading now?
Speaker 1
I do not remember the title, but it is about a self-inflicted hanging in the south and will that some rich guy had.  I am about 2 chapters into it and it is very great so far!
Speaker 2
Gee, I don't think I have read that one yet.  I first got interested in his work from movies like "The Firm".  I see "The Pelican Brief" is on Netflix now. I'll have to watch it sometime.  Do you like movies about lawyers and their cases? 
Speaker 1
I do like some of the lawyer/legal movies.  They are good sometimes.   I prefer watching these at home, though.  Even if I have to wait some before they come out on the internet or cable.  How is your gardening going?  Have you made anything to eat from the garden yet?
Speaker 2
The gardening is going well.  We've been getting a lot of rain in the past two weeks.  I see I have some green tomatoes.  I grew lettuce for salads so I've eaten that.  
Speaker 1
Very nice! You will maybe be able to make your own mixed salad at some point.  I like the idea of growing your own food.  I wish I could do it.  I just do not have the space for it right now.  But I try to get to the farmer's market every couple of weeks.
Speaker 2
I'd love to hear about your visit to the sunflower farm with your sister and brother in law!
Speaker 1
Well that was a fun trip.  When we got there the guide took us through the entire process from getting the land ready, growing the sunflowers, then harvesting them.  Quite a bit you can do these plants, more than I thought.  I kind of think it would be fun to work on a farm with multiple crops one summer.
Speaker 2
Oh I think so too.  Farming is a lot of work, though. I've only grown a few decorative sunflowers.  I remember one cultivar was named Vincent Van Gogh, and I grew it because I like him so much.  
Speaker 1
Well that is an interesting reason to grow something.  I definitely can tell the difference in farm fresh food vs. stuff that has been in a store or shipped around.  Maybe I am just too picky.  A smaller family farm would be better for me than a large commercial farm.
Speaker 2
That is so true about farm fresh food.  Since I started growing tomatoes it has ruined me for grocery store tomatoes.  I actually threw out a grocery store tomato because it just tasted like water.  I tried canning tomatoes last fall for the first time.  I like the idea of homesteading.
