P3.instances[0].transcript.parse_transcript_data({"transcript":"My current job right now is I'm working for a restaurant called T-Rex Barbecue in Berkeley, California. I'm a bus boy. I get paid $15 an hour plus tips. My typical day sometimes-- well, I don't know really. It just depends every day. Bus boy is a person that helps customers with their needs, with refilling their drinks, picking up plates, taken them to the dishwasher. That's what a typical bus boy does. I got it from a friend. We were going to high school together. And he told me, if I wanted to work there, that he's currently the manager right now. So I'm working for my best friend. I didn't know how to do the financing. I didn't know nothing, how to handle the money. I didn't know nothing about that. So I got into the bus boy business with my friends. Oh, well I would give the perfect advice as go as you, go dressed professionally. And give a smile to every customer that walks in. Customers like smiles. And just be yourself when you're with them. Well, the thing I like most about my job is every day you see a different person, different smile. They tell you different stories. Some of them are nice. Some of them can be mean. So every day is different. The most challenging part of the job is when we have parties. There's a lot of people. So sometimes it gets to 1,000, 2,000 people in the restaurant. So it gets real challenging. If people like challenges, restaurant is perfect for you.
