01. BLUE COLLAR JOB
Dialogue:
Paul: How do you find your construction work?
Dave: I already spend 4 days framing and roofing the house.
Paul: Definitely true! Look at me, I feel so weary every now and then
due to some paper works.
Dave: I feel this almost instant progress fits into the personality of
our creative, hyper-active, hard working blue collar work force.
Paul: Blue collar jobs allow you to spend time with your family!
Dave: Some white collar hi-tech jobs require you to travel away
from home a lot. Airports, hotels, and living out of your suitcase
become a wheel of life.
Paul: And your job is a demand one.
Dave: Everybody loves to work in the office.
Paul: I know, because construction work is hazardous and you need
extra carefulness.
Dave: As I do.
