It's not so much being an office manager as it is the title. The broker who owns the office will train me, and then at the end of the year, pay for my licensing and give me a job as a broker. This is much better than the insurance job I was going to take down here I'd say.

Default Thanks. I would guess so.

Although my best friend is an heir to a partner in both Standard Oil and Florida East Coast Railroad, so I've been doing that for years.

Default Does the apprentice need an apprentice?

I don't eat much and am incredbily subservient.

Default Heh, it's the wrong car for this job.

I'm going to need a 4 door car next year when I become a broker. Maybe lease an E class or something to pick up clients in.

Default Do you work for free?

That's about the only way I'd be able to pull it off. ;-)

Default Nevermind. Just got a call from General Motors.

Seems they need a new whipping boy and my background of smiling while everything burns around me seems to be exactly what they are looking for. Thanks anyway.
