Mar. 19, 2008 - Early mornings...
I have taken to getting up early in the morning, so that I can actually touch base with some of my vendors on the East coast, who are 4 hours earlier than me. I was homeschooling in the morning, like I usually do, and then trying to work the business in the afternoon, but everybody was closed! The problem is, that while my body might be awake, my brain isn't so I'm pretty sure I sound really...ummmm...stupid. Maybe if I type some coherent thoughts here....
Probably not.
A couple of weeks ago we managed to line up for hire 2 managers...both stolen from someplace else. My cafe manager, worked for me before at the B&B & then for Leny at the Mortgage company. 4 months ago, I gave her current employer (who I know) a glowing review... and now I stole her back. Guilt, guilt, guilt....
My bookstore manager involves daily guilt. She is the front desk person at the gym my kids attend. So each day, I have to face the owners, knowing I am stealing their trustworthy side kick. Guilt, guilt, guilt.... In my defense, she is the one that approached me for a job, but I'm not really all that sure that it was presented to the owners that way, so I look really bad. I'm still paying them a large car payment for my kids tuition every month, and I gave their daughter & son-in-law (Blake's coach) a really nice baby present! I also might have to promise the owners free coffee....
