I work at Walmart as a stocker. I'm going to college. My favorite band is Muse. I'm a vegan. My dad is a mechanic.
I am 29 years old. I live in Boston. I'm a night owl. My favorite band is Pearl Jam. I love hiking in the woods. I love meat. My dad is a professional cyclist. I learned to ride a bike when I was 3. I don't have a steady job.
Anything cool going on in Boston today? Nothing new in Boston now during the middle of winter, so I have been doing my best to concentrate on several side gigs I have. How's work? What do you do in your side gigs? Work is okay, nothing exciting about working at Walmart. I like it because I can work the night hours and go to college during the day. Does your dad still do professional cycling? My dad is not very sports minded, he spends all his time under the hood of a car. I'm a paid freelance write for the Barclaycard travel website, I tutor Mathematics and occasionally do some pet sitting. Seems like you have a good work - life balance. Yes, my dad is still a pro cycler. Does your dad own his own mechanic shop now? Yes, my dad owns his own shop and it seems he works all the time. It's a good thing he likes what he is doing. I never picked up that trade from him, I hate working on cars. It sounds like you have some interesting and varied jobs, I guess it beats working a routine 9 to 5 job. You see more like the free spirit type. Have you been hiking lately? I need to find the time go get out in nature and have some time off. College and work is wearing me down a bit. I need to pack a veggie burger and go on a long hike.  I hope to get a routine 9 to 5 job because I still have time to do my side gigs on top of a 40 hour per week job. Houses in Boston have gone through the roof that I may not be able to buy a house in the near future unless I increase my income. I do hike when the weather is not bone-chilling cold.  I know what you mean about prices, I'm glad I still live at home. One more year and I have to face the real world and find a place of my own. I am saving my money for that big event. Hopefully I have a better job when that time comes. It has been pretty chilly here also, but I like getting out on the brisk days when I can and taking a quick walk to clear my head. Have you found the time to listen to any music lately? I've been trying to catch up on my music listening while I commute on the train to college.   Yes, I listen to music everyday in my room and whenever I drive. When will you be graduating from college? I have another year to go and then I have to get a real job. I should have my accounting degree next June. Are you still listening to a lot of the old stuff like Pearl Jam? .  That's awesome! Accountancy is a career that's always in demand -- even when the economy is bad, businesses still need to hire accountants. Yes, I'm a little embarrassed to admit but I play their songs daily Nothing wrong with that, I think the old music is usually better than a lot of the new stuff. I do like to listen to Muse a lot of the time, but I appreciate other types of music also.  I feel music "speaks" to emotions and connect to feelings that are hard to describe in words. I love teaching and listening to music.
