At the coffee shop
Are you hungry?
Yes I think I will have the cheesecake.
And to drink?
Latte; and you?
I will have the tuna sandwich and a cup of tea please. (Steve hands the menus to the waiter and says “thank you”).
So, do you still play football?
Yes, but only once a week.
Oh why?
Well, I have a girlfriend now.
A girlfriend?
Yes, do you remember Susan from accounting?
Of course, she was very beautiful and clever.
Well, we are getting married next year, so we are saving money.
Oh congratulations!
Thank you - anyway – how about you, what have you been doing? Do you still play sport?
Yes, I still play tennis – I play about 3 times a week.
And do you have a girlfriend?
Not now. I had a girlfriend, but we are not together now.
Oh sorry to hear that.
Oh, it is ok, I am happy being single in Bangkok.
Bangkok? But you are in Trang today?
Yes, I usually work in Bangkok, but today I am working in our Trang university.
Oh, so what do you do?
I work as a teacher at a Bangkok university; I teach ICM; and you?
I work at SCB bank in Trang. So you like your job as a teacher?
Oh yes it is very challenging
I have to travel quite a bit; I visit two other universities: Trang and Phuket; I am in charge of the department.
It sounds great
Yes it is. I like my job – and you? Do you like your job?
Yes, it is exciting but I hardly ever travel. I just work in our Trang office most days; however sometimes I work in the Krabi office. I am in charge of a team of 5 workers. They report to me every Friday.
Wow that sounds like hard work.
Well, I am responsible for production too.
Wow, I just make sure my students get good grades and deal with all their questions. I sometimes report to the Vice President, but not very often.
Oh I just remembered, at university you always said you would like to be a singer. Do you still sing?
Yes I still sing – did you not see me on “Thailand got talent”?
You were on “Thailand got talent”? That sounds amazing.
It was. The judges loved me, but I didn’t win the competition.
What did you sing?
I sang “hotel California”
So, is singing your dream job?
For sure; I would love to sing full time, and not have to work. However, my parents tell me teaching is better, and I agree. So what is your dream job?
My dream job is to become the big boss at work.
Really?
Yes, I have the work experience now, and my colleagues like me and they want to work for me.
Sounds great; will you work very long hours?
Oh yes I imagine I would work 70 hours a week.
Wow 70 hours; you are enthusiastic. Will you get to travel?
Yes, I want to go to Canada – I have heard it is very beautiful. And you; where do you want to travel to?
I want to go to the USA; I want to be on “America got talent” and become a star in Hollywood.
