Apple Turnover

I have one attorney who works for me and two staff. The first one, Babette, has worked for me for only a month or so. Babette is 40 and she has worked mostly as a social worker. The other one, Apple, has been with me only for about two months. Apple is 18 years old and has worked mostly as a...well, I guess she has probably worked mostly for me at this point.

Babette is a rather super-energy, friendly woman. Today she brought in a bunch of pumpkin cookies. I am using the word "cookies" very loosely here, as the are really more like flat muffins. Or flat cake. Or flat bread. I think that if people were given an option of bread, muffin, cake, and cookie to describe these items, then "cookie" would finish a distant fourth. Anyway, it was nice of her to do. It went splendidly with the leftover pizza that I had on my way to work.

Apple moved here with her boyfriend five or so months ago. Early on, I asked her what she would do if she broke up with her boyfriend. Would she move back home with her family? Would she try to stick it out here?

I got the answer today. Apple and her boyfriend have parted ways. Apple gave me her two week notice today. Back to the drawing board for me. Now I have to find someone. And I need to find someone good. My office has been in unprecedented disarray these past few weeks. It is a combination of me not being in the office much because I am in court, and the fact that everyone working for me is new. It is nice to have at least one person who has been around for at least a year working in the office. But that is not the case. No one has been here that long. Even the attorney who works for me has only been with me for about three months. It is rough going. Losing Apple just sets me back that much further.

Any of my millions of readers looking for work?
