Or the art of staying flexible…
It has been another roller coaster week. I am in the throes of interviewing folks for one or two part time positions…and also scheduling “meet & greets” with new clients… and coordinating a long-distant project for a talented friend. To do all of this requires juggling of schedules and a great degree of flexibility (emotionally and physically – as well as setting times and dates.
I feel like I am doing okay on the interviewing frontlines…one no show, one courteous enough to let me know that she had been offered a job (I wish her well), and nine very capable and very personable candidates. Today will be the tenth interview, I am writing this blog while awaiting her arrival at – where else? – Starbucks.
I wish I could afford to hire them all, as I feel that all of the candidates so far can bring something great to my business, and all would be easy to work with and to train. But alas, I cannot yet afford to hire that many people… so this weekend, amidst trying to write and make article deadlines; caring for my furry clients, and I will need to make some tough decisions.
As my husband says – I suffer from an embarrassment of abundance. I hope to be so afflicted for many years to come. :0) The key is to practice flexibility!
More later – happy Saturday.
