The First One Bites the Dust

So sadly the rumors about hiring college students are true. They are very flaky. It is interesting how because I don't have a business sign out front or have them dress up for work I tend to be no more than a mother hiring a babysitter.

I have had to cover shifts, as my instructors call the day before or the day of and can't make their shifts. I tend to do the most hours of therapy for Jaden out of all the instructors, which saves me money, but it also makes me a horrible mother and wife. I tend to get a little burned out.

But only after barely working for me for two months I had an instructor quit. They seemed to enjoy working with Jaden so I was surprised when they gave me their two week notice. The funny thing was was that they were the most proactive in getting this job. They really wanted it. I guess they learned what their calling in life really wasn't.

So I'm a hiring again. I've had only a few resumes and only one golden applicant. We'll see what happens. You may think what's the big deal about hiring a new person? But let me tell you the costs:$75 for one newspaper ad endless time calling schools and calling applicants and interviewing them. Then it will cost an extra $250 to train them...at least. So our bleeding account will be blood letting for a while

...And with all the stress my infamous cold sore is back. Lovely.
