another interview

I am meeting at one more real estate office.  This one is in East midtown, and their focus is on sales.  (I've decided not to pursue rentals).  

I am early, so I stop by Starbucks.  Four of us are sitting on stools facing the window.  One of us (not me) is talking loudly on her phone. I ask that person, a youngish Asian woman,  to please talk softer.  At that, she turns to me and says, “This is a public place and I have every right to be on my phone and talk as much and as loudly as I want.”  I respond, “Being in a public place is no excuse for rude behavior.”  She then calls me a racist. Yes, that must be it.  

After that little incident, I head over to meet Dan.  He is great.  From Long Island.  Kids the same age as Alexander.  Personable.  Candid.  Easy-going, and pleasant.  I can see working with him.

I like both Dan and Janice.  They are with the same company, Coldwell Banker Bellmarc Group.  Janice’s office is right around the corner from me; Dan’s is a few blocks further.  

I plan to make a decision next week.   I am anxious to begin my real education.
