Part Four: Monologue
“When I was a student I was broke*, so I took a part-time job to help support myself. I needed something that wouldn’t interfere with my class schedule. I found a job at the local supemp3arket working twenty hours a week in the evenings. Mostly I took inventory and stocked the shelves. The work itself wasn’t so interesting and it was hard for me to find the time to study. It was good for me though; I got some practical working experience and I learned a lot about how to manage my time. And plus, money. I mean, hey, who can complain about that?”
