Astoria

Tom and the other two guys chatted. Jake was quiet and would sometimes glance over at Janie. Janie took this chance and tried to talk to him. "So what do you actually do at work, Jake?"
"I should ask you that." Jake replied.
"I take care of files and filing them. I enter in data and organize it. Sorting and stuff. I hate having to explain my job to people. They normally don't get it and I have to try to make it easier for them to understand."
"Don't worry. I understand."
"Right, you are pretty smart yourself, eh?"
"Yup. I'm into tech stuff too that's why they invited me to come here."
"Everyone should in this day and age, right?"
"Yeah. So,  are you the only girl in the work place?"
"Fortunately, there's another girl working with me so it's not bad. I have some company. She's not here because she didn't want to come."
"Ah. Well, you're the only girl here minus the secretary."
"Seems so."
"You're the office girl but I never seem to see you around."
"Well, I never have to deliver anything to the engineer department so that's why you never see me."
"I should give you something to deliver to us then. We're a fun group. We have some females with us."
"Oh, I should stop by during my deliveries then."
"Yeah, you should. We make cool things."
"Like what?"
"We were making ... the other day. We had to solve a problem for ... company and it's awesome. You should stop by."
"Yeah, I'll be sure to."
"By the way, where do you live?"
"Oh, I live in Williamsburg, Brooklyn."
"Where the hipsters are? Must be kinda far to get to work."
"I guess. I like the neighborhood. What about you?"
"Astoria, Queens. Closer to Manhattan."
"It must be easy breezy for you to get to work."
"I wasn't originally from New York though. I'm from Pennsylvania actually. I just recently moved here for work."
"Oh really? I'm from Virginia. My friend persuaded me to move here. She didn't like it in Virginia so she made me come up here with her. How long have you been here?"
"5 months."
"Oh. That's why I've never seen you. I've been here for a year and a half now."
