Todd: OK, Monica, today we're going to be talking about jobs.
Monica: Oh, OK.
Todd: And first we're going to talk about worst jobs ever. Jobs that we had in the past that we hated, so I'll go first. The worst job I've ever had was actually working in construction. And I used to do construction with my father when I was young and I hated it. It was always cold and windy and you were outside, and I just knew instantly 1 that would never do construction. It just was not for me. Mainly because I hated working outside, especially when it was cold. When it was warm in the summer or spring it was good, but, ah, it was not good doing construction out in the cold.
Monica: OK, so it was only the cold you didn't like?
Todd: Well, mainly. Then, plus well, working for your dad.
Monica: It's not nice.
Todd: is always not the funnest thing, but yeah, it wasn't for me. How about you? What's a job that you hated growing up?
Monica: Well, I didn't really enjoy working on some orchards 3 that I had to work on when I was young.
Todd: Yeah, you worked in an orchard 2?
Monica: Yeah, quite often I would work on an orchard during school holidays or during holidays while I was at varsity, and some of the jobs were OK, but some involved getting up very, very early, and I didn't like that. Getting up at maybe five o'clock in the morning, and getting in my car and then going out to the orchard and then having to pick apples for maybe four or five hours. It could be very tedious 4 and boring.
Todd: Yeah, I bet 5, I bet.
