It\'s the second part of our shows on transitioning to adulthood and the challenges therein. \\xa0This week we return to our typical format and discuss two articles related to needed vocational skills: asking for assistance with a vocational task and using an iPhone cueing system to perform as a fire safety mascot. \\xa0Yes, you read that right: a fire safety mascot. \\xa0If research about inflatable suits with an iPhone Velcroed inside was on your wish list, consider this show your friendly genie. \\xa0And if you think the gifts stop there, you\'re in for a treat when Jackie shares her favorite Starbucks drink and Diana tells us what TV show she enjoys while falling asleep on the couch. \\xa0Is anything more representative of adulthood than overpriced coffee and bad TV? P.S. from Rob: Please don\'t tell me how The Wire ends. \\xa0Not cool, dude.
