Einar had a second interview yesterday with a real estate office in DeForest. He accepted the position and starts at 8am on Monday. He will be doing office administration work - inputting property information into the computer, scheduling appointments, etc. He has been guaranteed 24 hours/week with the possibility that it'll be 40 hours/week shortly thereafter. Einar thinks it'll probably be closer to 40 right away while he's learning and figuring out their system and getting caught up with anything. It's a small real estate office - the owner, 3 other real estate agents, and 1 other guy who does property maintenance. There seems to be potential for growth, as the owner indicated that he wants Einar to become the office manager. The owner also said Einar could get his real estate license, but that will have to be something Einar will have to determine his interest in. All in all, it feels like a good opportunity.
Last night, Einar and I had dinner with his parents at Granite City. It was a fantastic way to share our good news and get caught up on what is happening in our lives. Unfortunately for me, I didn't have anything new and exciting to share - it was Einar's night.
Today is Ash Wednesday. I have to work both jobs, so I won't be able to attend any Ash Wednesday service. I wish I could. I have decided to fast as a way to observe this holy day, but I'm not sure if that's a good idea for when I go waitress. And then, I get to work, and one of my co-workers has brought in bagels! Oh the temptation!! I have not caved in, but I have 7 and 1/2 hours left in the workday. And I can smell them. . .
