BJ: Hi . . . Excuse me. Could you tell me where the nearest subway stop is?
Keith: Uhh, yeah . . . Four blocks that way, and a block to the left. Fourteenth and First Avenue.
BJ: Thanks. Uff. Do you mind if I take a load off? I’ve been walking forever.
Keith: No . . . Go ahead. Are you new to the city?
BJ: Yeah. I just moved here two weeks ago.
Keith: What brings you to New York?
BJ: Well, in a nutshell, I guess I wanted to make a clean break, you know, start over.
Keith: I hear ya. I’m trying to turn over a new leaf myself.
BJ: Really? What is it you do?
Keith: Well, actually, things are a bit up in the air at the moment. I was just fired from my job.
BJ: Oh no. I’m sorry to hear that.
Keith: No big deal really. I wanted to leave that job ages ago. I kept putting it off out of laziness.
BJ: Wow, you lost your job? So what did you do?
Keith: I was working for a magazine. I wanted to be a writer when I got out of college. I took this job as the assistant to an editor, thinking it would be a foot in the door but I was wrong.
BJ: Do you mind me asking why you got fired?
Keith: I showed up for work late one too many times, I guess. Actually, they were already unhappy with me before. Showing up late was just the straw that broke the camel’s back.
BJ: So what do you have in mind now?
Keith: I was thinking of going back to school or taking writing classes.
BJ: Ya know, I want to start taking some classes too. Right now, I teach.
Keith: What do you teach?
BJ: Dance.Mostly salsa these days. But it’s just to get on my feet until I get a break in performance.
Keith: I’ve always been interested in learning salsa.but I’ve never been sure I’d be good at it. You see, I have two left feet |
