Oy and vey - it looks like I may have to find yet ANOTHER helper. Unbelievable. The current helper just announced she'll be out of town from July 1 through 12 - first I've heard, and she acted like I should just schedule everything around those dates - of course, I'm sure we'll have a release to ship at some point in twelve days, so that's not good. When she started, she told me of two periods where she'd be gone, both of which have passed. Plus, I'm at the mercy of her auditions and call backs - that hasn't really been a problem yet, and I've given her endless leeway about how and when she does things. So, we had a conversation and she doesn't like that I get stressed over this so she said maybe it's better to find someone new and she'll start looking. I said that was fine but that she'd have to train them and I'd have to be comfortable. I just don't get people - this is a great gig for her, she needs the money, it's easy/breezy, but that's the way the world is today. I just can't run a company and be at a helper's beck and call.
