Totally agreed.
When I _finally_ got comfortable with sticking by my numbers, I ended up with much better clients.
Good luck, ND. I echo Laura completely:
May it turn out the way it is supposed to!

This too shall pass.
I'll take hair pats. Put an ad in for help. It is just so overwhelming to sort through all the responses. And then I will have to meet people. And stuff.

Oh, I know that feeling Laura. I've been feeling like I've just barely been keeping my nose above the waterline for a while now. It's good stuff, but it is so overwhelming. I hope that you find the right person.
I'm now up to four permanent full timers, which is something I have a hard time even wrapping my head around.

Now I'm just really working on being patient until I hear back about the possible contract in Macau.

Yay for stable staff!
ND, I'm keeping all my superstitions crossed for you!
I'm in a hiring suck now too.
The pet care company needs a number of new staff and I _really_ want to free up two current staff for creative opportunities.
There just seems to be a paucity of capable folks applying. I don't even care if they are not qualified. I can train them! We just need folks who can handle what is a far more rigorous and complex task than most people seem to understand.
We just keep growing and, despite having the incredible luxury of saying no to clients who are not a good fit, we are struggling at capacity all the time.
Going into the holiday season, it's pretty daunting.
I can say that we get a pretty fair quality of inquiries through INDEED vs. craigslist, but it is still, the personal contact that works best for us as a rule.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Man, bonny, I wish my sister lived there. She'd be great. Loves animals, super responsible, good customer service skills. She's currently volunteering at a shelter walking dogs.

Also, ND, that's so great. Keeping my fingers crossed for Macau.
