After all of that trying to hire a new employee, I get an email today saying that she won't be working for me after all. She was supposed to start on Monday. I'm livid. First of all about the fact that she lets me know the Thursday prior to starting that she won't be coming on (she's decided to take a vacation instead) but also that she emailed me rather than having the balls to call and tell me in person.
Ok, I absolutely realize that not everyone out there is like this but in my short tenure as an entrepreneur but also in hiring decisions I made before in the corporate world, I swear it is so incredibly hard to find a good employee. I'm just done. Done. It's too late now to go through another round of interviews and hiring someone so I'm just going to do it all myself. Madness, yes. But I'm out of time and out of patience.

This is where Deirdre steps in and tells you about how much she hates her damn job and would love to work with you (neeeeed to work in something animal related).
Alas, Deirdre is a Canuck.

Deirdre - Seattle is almost part of Canada, right? C'mon, you can come work with me. :)
Can you use an Austin employee? I want to come work for you...AND...I promise I won't flake. :-) Good people are indeed hard to find; that's part of why my dad retired not so long after all his workers..er...kids left home. :-) Is retirement an option for us yet?
