ESL Conversation on Job Routines

Joey: So how is everything at work?

Tony: No complaints really. How about you? How do you like your new job?

Joey: I really love it. It really beats sitting at a desk all day.

Tony: I bet. So, what do you do exactly?

Joey: Well, I organize sightseeing tours around L.A. We go to all the sightseeing spots around the city.
I don’t do much deskwork, but I have to do some research on the internet.
I receive reservations and then follow up to confirm the dates. I occasionally take phone calls, but most of the office staff takes care of most of the telephone work and paperwork. I’m outside of the office most of the time. I really love it.

Tony: Wow, it sounds a lot more interesting than your last job.

Joey: Yes, it’s a really nice change. I was sick and tired of doing the same thing day in and day out.

Tony: I can imagine. How are your co-workers?

Joey: They are really friendly, and everyone works as a team. We often hang out after work too.

Tony: That sounds the opposite of your last job.

Joey: Didn’t you say your co-workers were really boring?

Tony: They sure were. I’m so happy that you convinced me to quit.
