My name is Erika. I'm starting a new job. I like running and painting landscapes. My favorite food is meat and pizza. I like my pizza with extra cheese and thick crust.
I am a grill cook. I have only one job. I want to own a restaurant. I like to run.
I'm starting my new job tomorrow. I'm getting pretty nervous about it. Congratulations! Where are you going to be working? It's normal for someone to be nervous for their first day anywhere ! Well, believe it or not, I actually got a gig as a painter for a company that does portraits of landscapes as murals for people's homes. I'm really excited! I can't wait to figure out more about how the job goes. How's work for you? Oh wow that sounds amazing. Work has been going okay. I've been saving up most anything extra that I've earned in the hopes to save enough to open a small restaurant. Well, hopefully you'll be able to do that soon. What kind of restaurant is it going to be? I'm thinking of opening a New York style pizza restaurant. I want to make pizzas and calzones for people to enjoy. Would it be expensive to have an indoor Italian theme mural painted? I can factor that into my budget. That would be fantastic! You can't go wrong with pizza. I think an Italian-themed mural would be perfect! I think you could have it done in a really tasteful way that would bring in guests and make them feel like the food was really homemade and high-quality. I don't think it would be expensive at all. What would you like to include in the scene? I think it would be a cool idea to blend in the city of New York into Italy to give it a really cool style of New York Pizza. First pizza pie with extra cheese will be on the house if you can help me out with this when it's time! Oh no doubt, you KNOW I'm in for that, haha. I'm excited! How long do you think it'll be until you're ready to start on the restaurant? I think I am about 8 months away from having enough saved to make my dream a reality. Maybe we can schedule time to show you some of the buildings I am looking at? Sure, that would be a lot of fun. We'd need a somewhat large wall in order to get a mural the right size. What area of town are you looking in? It's not too far from where I live. The furthest place is about 5 miles away. Not too bad of a distance where I could do a morning run to the restaurant to start the day.
