Today, my wife and I celebrated our 26th anniversary. I surprised her by ordering 2 dozen yellow roses and having them delivered to her at the office...I should have tried to get 26 roses, but I ordered online and could only get them by the dozen. This evening, we went back to Canary Cafe in Addison, where my wife had Chef Mansour Gorji's famous ribeye steak...it was dubbed best steak in Texas in two consecutive years (at a steak-grilling competition that pits high-end professional chefs against one another). It was good, but I liked my meal even better. I had a wonderfully rare filet mignon topped with a very flavorful gargonzola sauce. Magnificent! Now, both of us, but especially I, need to cut back on our food intake for a few months to make up for all the wonderful food.
I had two interviews scheduled for today for the position in my office I am seeking to fill. The first one simply didn't show up, the second one did...in an odd way. The second one was a 30ish guy who showed up in a nice suit, black shoes, and white socks. When I queried him about the variation in title shown on his resume versus the application he completed, he got very embarrassed, saying it appeared he cut and pasted the job his wife had at his former employer, rather than the one he held. His 67% score on the English grammar and usage test was positively stellar compared to the others I have seen. I need to pay more to get better people to even apply. The problem is I simply cannot afford to. I promised I would pay what I need to pay to get a good administrative assistant...but I can't find one for what I can afford. I'll keep looking.
