Hi, how's your week going?
- Hey mate, my week's been great. I've just been brushing up on my Excel skills for my upcoming internship.
  
  How's your week been?
  
  Not great, got my first speeding ticket over the weekend. It was a tiny town in the middle of a highway. I strongly suspect that town gets a lot of its income from speeding tickets in a section where they rapidly lower the speed limit to 25 (4 lane road).
  
  So I'm still seething about that.
  
  25mph speed limit? That is incredibly low. Definitely something shady going on there.
  
  What do you do for a living?
  
  Yeah, 25, all the way from 65.
  
  I'm a data engineer.
  
  How's that going for you? Are you satisfied with your job?
  
  Yeah, it's been good so far. The best part is that it's remote.
  
  Oh that's the jackpot. How long have you been doing it for?
  
  About a year
  
  Interesting. So tell me more about yourself outside your job and getting speed tickets. Are you more introverted or extroverted?
  
  More introverted I would say.
  
  I got the speeding ticket on the way back home from a hiking and camping weekend trip. So, there's one thing I do outside of work. I also like playing open world RPGs and 2d platformers.
  
  What are your hobbies?
  
  I'm from Arkansas. Every small town on the highway is a speed trap. Although they haven't seemed to care as much since the pandemic
  
  This place was just across the border from y'all, in Oklahoma.
  
  So probably the same shit. Sorry you have to deal with that
