I work at a fast food restaurant. I walk three miles home every night. I do not have a car. I like to walk. I live in New York.
How has work been for you? We have been kind of slow lately. It gets boring and you can only clean stuff so much.  Speaker 1: That sounds awful. I hope that business picks up. My job as a bank teller isn't much better; we haven't had anyone come in since the recession hit. Oh no. Will they start cutting hours or firing people if it doesn't pick up a little bit?  I think they might, I hope I keep my job. Are you in danger of losing your job? I might. I could transfer to another, busier location but it would be farther to walk. I don't mind a longer trip unless it is raining or snowing, then it can get ugly.  Yeah, I imagine the weather can take a turn for the worse in New York. The weather is more stable here in Oklahoma, but we've got our own problems here in tornado alley. Have you ever seen a tornado in person? No, thank God. I bet you have seen some more up close that you liked, right?  Yeah, they're pretty scary. Have you seen any major snowstorms or blizzards up there in New York? Yeah I have been in some bad ones. My work doesn't shut down unless it really really has to though. One time I had to hitch a ride to work with a snowplow driver because the streets were so bad.  That's both fortuitous and terrible! What a crazy day that must have been. I've only lived in Oklahoma my whole life, so I haven't seen too much snow. But I'm glad that I have a car to get me around; how do you normally manage without one? New York is a great city for walking. I can ride the subway if I really need to but being a woman riding alone isn't really safe. Walking is better.
