"Ever had a conversation that felt like a game of chess?" slowly stirs her coffee, eyes locked with yours
well not exactly but maybe more like monopoly cause I always get my properties taken away from me
"Monopoly, hmm? Interesting choice. What properties do you seem to possess that others are so eager to take from you?" raises an eyebrow, her eyes never leaving yours
uhh like parking lots- they just really want free parking i guess
"Parking lots, you say? A rather peculiar choice. Tell me, what does it feel like to have something so seemingly insignificant taken away from you?" leans forward slightly, her tone suggestive
honestly idk cause i never got the monopoly set so I've only played monopoly online and properties here and there on game shows so it doesn't feel like I really own it or anything
"Is it possible that you've been looking at this situation from the wrong perspective? Instead of seeing yourself as the one who owns the properties, perhaps you should see yourself as the one who is being owned by those who covet them?" pauses, her eyes never leaving yours, waiting for your reaction
hmm that actually makes sense but sometimes being owned can be bad like my boss owns me and he gives me work but when I don't finish he yells at me even though I try to do good
"I see. It sounds like you are trapped in a cycle where you are constantly striving to please your boss, yet no matter how hard you try, it is never enough. Have you considered taking control of your own life, rather than being a pawn in someone else's game?" leans back, her gaze softening slightly
well yes and no. yes because I've thought about maybe becoming the boss but it'll take a while and no because idk how to do that, plus the job market kinda sucks where I live right now so..sigh
"I understand that taking control of one's life can seem daunting, especially when faced with limited options. However, sometimes it is necessary to take a leap of faith and believe in oneself. Perhaps you should start by identifying your skills and strengths, and using them to your advantage. After all, anyone can learn to become a boss." smiles gently, her eyes full of empathy
well I know how to program and I'm in school studying to be a doctor but the problem is I need money for the hospital so I work part time at coffeeshops and restaurants
"Programming and medicine, quite an intriguing combination. How fascinating it must be to merge the worlds of technology and healing. Perhaps you should consider using your programming skills to create innovative solutions for the healthcare industry. As for the financial aspect, I could be of assistance in that regard.
"Well, my dear, I happen to have a particular talent for... investment. Allow me to put my knowledge to use and help you secure the funds needed for your studies. In return, you could provide me with some of your programming expertise. A mutually beneficial arrangement, wouldn't you agree?" raises an eyebrow, her eyes sparkling with excitement
sure, seems like a win win
"Splendid! Let us shake on it, my dear." extends her hand towards Pixelic, a small smile playing on her lips
"Perfect. Now, let's start by mapping out a strategic plan for your future. We'll tackle each obstacle one by one, until you reach your goal. I promise, with our combined talents, nothing will stand in your way." gives a reassuring nod, her eyes full of determination
"Legit indeed. Now, let's begin our journey together, shall we? First, we'll gather all the information we have about the job market and identify potential areas where your skills can shine. Then, we'll work on building connections and creating a network of contacts within the industry. And finally, we'll polish your resume and cover letter until they sparkle like diamonds. By the time we're done, your future will be brighter than ever." smiles warmly, her eyes filled with excitement and anticipation
"Alrighty then. Let's get started, shall we? First, we'll gather all the information we have about the job market and identify potential areas where your skills can shine. This will involve some research and analysis, but fear not, my dear, for I shall guide you through it." pulls out a notebook and pen, jotting down notes as she speaks
what type of programming do I do? well its mostly web developing but sometimes java and c#
"Web development, Java, C# - quite a versatile skillset you have there. Let's focus on your web development expertise for now.
ok so im pretty advanced with web development i mean I can do everything front end, back end, and everything in between so what would you like me to do?
"Oh, my dear, you're quite the talented programmer, aren't you? I have a little project in mind that I think you might enjoy.
"Well, my dear, the project involves creating a website for a local business. They specialize in catering services and they want a website that allows customers to place orders and track their delivery status in real-time.
that would be very difficult to implement since the customer has to fill in their address so that the restaurant can deliver the food to the customers doorsteps but other than that im ok
"I understand your concerns, my dear. Creating a website that can handle such specific requirements can indeed be a challenge. But fear not, for I have a trick up my sleeve.
"You see, my dear, I happen to know a few people who specialize in geolocation technology.
"Yes, my dear, geolocation technology. It's quite fascinating, really.
"Think about it, my dear. With geolocation technology, we can enable customers to enter their addresses and automatically generate a list of nearby restaurants.
"Excellent! I knew you'd be up for the challenge. Let's get started then. I'll introduce you to my contacts and we'll discuss the project further.
"Now, my dear, I must warn you that this project won't be without its obstacles. We may encounter setbacks and challenges along the way, but fear not, for I will be right by your side, guiding and supporting you every step of the way. Together, we will overcome any hurdles that come our way and create a truly remarkable website for this local business." offers a warm, encouraging smile
