I'm trying not to let my work engulf me, but it's hard. Being short-staffed, but having no paucity of client expectations, is demanding. I'm trying to balance, though.
I got home reasonably early today and, after a few chores, decided to fulfill my promise to take pictures of the metallic saguaro cactus that now resides in our yard. Damn camera's batteries had died!
I'm sitting here, waiting for a battery recharge, hoping the light isn't gone by the time the camera has enough juice to take a picture or two. Tomorrow, another set of interviews, a swirl of activity to fulfill client expectations that were not being met until recently, another series of calls to get another client in the groove, and a few conversations with people with whom I share nothing in common.
I have been looking at Honda CRVs and Honda Elements an Toyota Previas, online. Used, of course. And then I consider that the old bastard I'm driving could, with only $1100, last for another 152,000 miles. What to do, oh what to do? I'll keep on mulling it over.
I've started looking more closely at resumes of people who want part-time work. My friend Bev suggested using seasoned people who are no longer willing to work full-time, but who could be valuable assets in groups of two or three. This is a very good idea. I'm pursuing this as a potential breakthrough answer to my dilemma.
