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.

Thanks! I'd really like to see the business expand to some international projects.
I can't believe I'm actually typing that and that this is really my business. Sometimes things are a little surreal.
