I'm hiring again and I originally got 45 emails which I weeded down to 8 with a little help and then sent out email questions and got 4 responses out of the 8, 2 which were not qualifed or barely out of school with no pratical knowledge of accounting and I interviewed 2 which I like both of them and they are coming tommorrow for 2nd interviews, an accounting test and general this is my house and this is where you'd be working and to pass the kitty test.
The first one I really like - she's very flexible and has the experience and likes trying to new things, all good for me. The second one - definetly wants 20 hours per week and wants to work from 9am to 2pm - which is ok if I actually woke up before 9am - I don't and I don't know if her ideal hours would work with my life and I don't think she's an out of the box thinker - I guess a second interview, we will see. She loves bookkeeping - good quality.
I've gotten alot of funny emails, weird emails, weird resumes but the latest one, here you can laugh with me: My name is Ryan xxxxxx, blah blah blah, I have recently started my own business in which I do bookkeeping services for small and medium size businesses in the East Bay. I primarily work from home, however coming in a few hours a week is not a problem. I can handle any task from producing balance sheets, profit and loss reports, general ledgers, bank reconciliation as well as payroll services. I charge a nominal fee of $500 a month which benefits my companies with a cheap alternative to keeping their books as well as provide myself with the luxury of being able to work from home besides the fact that he is my competitor, I really don't think he should be telling potential clients that 500 dollars is a cheap alternative that allows him the luxury of working from home, I wouldn't hire him.
Hopefully tommorrow I will know which one is the keeper and have a new employee because honestly I'd love to sleep again

honestly I thought this stupid dating service was over, while they want your feedback, they don't share feedback, so if you felt like you made a great connection with one person and they never call you back, IJL can't help you or won't help you or doesn't care if you're frustrated with the concept. And I really did think I'd had my 6 dates or 6 months or whatever came last because I wanted it to be over with period. 6 dates only 1 guy I'd consider ever dating again and he won't call back. 6 dates and only 1 guy I'd only normally take a second look at on the street.
and guess what - they called again, apparently my 6 month period doesn't expire until the end of October - damn
and guess what - they still don't know me at all, it must have been a complete fluke with date #6 because the new guy they wanted to introduce me too..
5'10, brown hair, blue eyes....so far so good
likes to listen to dance, techno and house...huh? not my thing at all - give me metal, goth and electronic anyday but not dance techno
likes to ride horses and go camping...ok with you on that one, love horses
and the punch line, he lives past Santa Clara - close to Santa Cruz...WTF?
If I wanted to date someone that lives 2-3 hours away, I could but I don't. Which reminds me, if I wanted to go to the beach, I would but I don't like driving that far away. And yes, I might be missing lots of opportunities because of that decision but I'm a homebody, I like being home and I don't want to drive 3 hours away to date someone and even if he is open to meeting someone that far away, he's not going to like it permanently and its not fair to even go there/go on a date because its not/won't go beyond that first date and THAT"S NOT THE POINT!!'
They were a little confused when I told them I wasn't interested in this new date. I wonder if everyone that's signed up with IJL has just given up on their opinions and just agrees to whatever in order to get it over with.
Honestly re-set me up with date #6, that way I get 2 dates with him and see if there really is a connection. I should ask, that would probably confuse them more :)
