    The problem with hiring hikers....

    ...they all split to go hiking on long holiday weekend leaving me here to man the phones. Alex, Carolyn, Kristal don't worry about me, I am sure I can figure everything out.

    You know, if you went hiking too, you wouldn't have to deal with this problem today

    They make a coordinated plan of attack. First person just turns in their vacation request months ago. Then the next one just gets slipped in knowing I am going to forget the first request date. This is where it gets sneaky because I am on to them. On the third request they first distract me with a cheeseburger. As I am trying to eat the delicious medium rare char broiled heaven they give me a list of questions that have multiple questions in each request.

    Them, How is your day did you sleep well last night?
    Me, good
    Them, Did you see the sales are up and the orders are all caught up?
    Me, Yes I did
    Them, Do you like your cheeseburger and can Carolyn leave early?
    Me, yes
    Them, Bye

    Dutch you are doing a great job manning the Shop. And they all left on a day Beetle Buckles are back in stock! That must have created extra traffic.

    So you're telling me that...
    1) You'd like to hire me as a "remote" employee and...
    2) On an upcoming custom request, I should bribe you by finding some burger place close to you and having them deliver a delicious piece of char broiled heaven, medium rare, before I email you my request?
