Tracy and I had a number of interviews on Saturday, and we have another tomorrow night. We had about 60 applicants from a 3 day Craig's List ad. So far, everyone we have interviewed are keepers. How do we decide from there, how to fill two spots? I guess we will narrow it down by what our schedule needs are, compared to what their availabilities are, and how many hours they want. If we have a 25 hour per week position to fill, and someone says they need 35-40 hours, then they are out... Usually, there are one or two standouts from a group of interviews. This is the first time we have ever wanted to hire EVERYONE we talked to...
We will be making a decision on Tuesday or so. Stay tuned...
As for the financial turmoil, who really knows what is going to happen? This is kind of scary for us. Starting a business 18 months before a global financial meltdown is about as bad as it gets. Right now, I have no way of predicting whether or not we can ride it out and make it. Our sales dropped a little last week from our recent averages. People are leery of parting with their money right now. We'll have to see how things go, not just for us, but for everyone out there...

Tracy and I are opening our own Coffee Shop and Portrait Studio in Colorado Springs. The coffee shop will be "Nemo's Coffee" and the portrait studio will be called "Nautilus Photography." Do you get the correlation? I will be using this blog to chart our progress. It is unbelievable how much work it is to research, set-up, construct, and outfit a new business! I intend to post a daily log of progress made, as well as post photos! Wish us luck!
