Ivan's first week of work has passed. At Ernst & Young, they assign the new employees to shadow a veteran employee for the first few months on the job to learn the ropes. He's excited to learn that the woman he'll be shadowing is actually working on a big deal now, so he'll be doing real work. Of course, that probably means he'll have to work long hours, so we'll see how that pans out. They say that 9am is too late to get to work and leaving at 6pm is considered early, but they don't give many details on the work schedule beyond that. Ivan has been getting to work around 7:30am and leaving between 5:30pm and 6pm. We'll see how long that keeps up.

Susan started work today - she's resuming her job at The Master's College as a software engineer, but only working 1 day per week. The rest of her time should be spent conducting research towards her PhD. We'll see how that pans out. The sermon yesterday was about prayer and we were encouraged to go to the midweek prayer meeting at church on Tuesdays, so, since Susan doesn't have any other plans for tomorrow, she'll be going to that. Hopefully that will help her become more disciplined in her own, personal prayer life and she'll be more sensitive to the needs of the congregation.
