Lisette: You’re the new kid on the
block, aren’t you?
Danny: Yeah, it’s my first day.
Lisette: I’m Lisette.
Danny: I’m Danny. Nice to meet you.
Lisette: You’re lucky to be starting on the
day shift. When I started working
here umpteen years ago, I had to
work the graveyard shift for two
years before I got the day shift.
Danny: I guess I am lucky, but I wouldn’t mind
working any shift, even double shifts,
once I get up to speed. My wife and I
are expecting our first child and we need
to save up.
Lisette: Oh, yeah? Congratulations! Well, there
are always people who want time off
and need someone to cover for them.
You can usually pick up extra hours
and shifts that way. Sometimes, there’s even
overtime, but the veteran
workers get first dibs.
Danny: I can understand that. Well, if you ever
need anybody to cover for you, just give
me a shout.
Lisette: All right, I’ll keep it in mind. Maybe I
can help you save up for a diaper or
two.
