The pizza family

Drywall work has been a little slow lately, so Tim suggested that Mark look for some other work till things pick up again. So, he picked up an application at Papa John's, where his brother Luke works. On Saturday he dropped off his application, and had an interview at 1 pm. He called us at 2:15, saying that he was working!

Sunday evening, Christina and her friend Pete ordered a pizza at Papa John's. Luke delivers it to our house. He said the woman (his boss) who took the order was impressed by the female caller's presence over the phone. Luke said it must have been his mom (thanks, Luke!) but it was his sister! Armed with the knowledge of her brothers' positions at the restaurant and the news of her status with the boss, Christina fills out an application after school on Tuesday (after, of course, we go shopping at Target for interview clothes which include the standard Papa John khaki pants).

Christina's friend Emily and I wait in the parking lot for Christina to finish filling out the application. We can see her sitting at a table by the window. Suddenly, she has disappeared. Luke and Mark both happen to be working. Mark leaves as soon as we arrive to deliver pizzas. Luke comes out a bit later, telling us that Christina is being interviewed.

Emily and I wait a bit longer. Christina emerges a few minutes later, smile on her face. She begins her first job as in-store help on Saturday! Her new boss seems very excited to have another Nelson on board.

I had a job interview yesterday for another part-time position at Bethel, to bring me closer to full-time status there. It sounds like they will make a decision by tomorrow.

Now, we just need finish Tim's latest job application...

Till next time,
