159 - Moonlighting
Robert: You look exhausted. You must have been out late last night having fun.
Muriel: I wish. I’ve actually started moonlighting. I’ve decided to go back to school and need the extra money to make ends meet.
Robert: Good for you. That’s great. Where are you moonlighting?
Muriel: I’m working at the university library. At that time of night, it’s pretty dead. When there are no students around, I can use the time to study. It works out pretty well, except for the hours.
Robert: Oh, yeah? What are they?
Muriel: My work schedule is pretty good, actually. I work three days a week: Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. But my hours are 7 to midnight. By the time I get home, I’m dead tired.
Robert: No wonder you look beat. Here, have some more coffee.
Muriel: Thanks. I just hope I don’t fall asleep in the morning meeting.
Robert: It’s okay. No one will notice.
Muriel: Thanks a lot!
Robert: Don’t mention it.
