Wow, that's a bunch ND!! Laura, good luck.
It's my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

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.

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.

I felt that way with a contract I'm working on now. It's with a group of people I would NEVER have guessed I'd have access to...doing what I love/am good at...without having to pretend I'm something I'm not. AND getting good results.
There were _eras_ of my life, not just years it seems, where I would not have thought this possible.
I wish you even greater, more surreal success with your contract, ND!

Dear Congress,
Did you seriously just pass a thing that means our employee leasing company can no longer offer health care for our employees...which means we now have to bring health care IN HOUSE in our company of five people?
You suck.

I'm not familiar with this, but isn't it as likely to be signed into law as all the other anti-ACA bills that make it through the House? i.e. not bloody likely.
