Dreary Day...

I didn't think it was supposed to start raining until later today but it started last night and didn't stop for most of the day. Temps aren't bad though....was in the mid 50's, almost 60 degrees. I'll take that as opposed to the snow they are calling for out west. Ten day forecast is saying close to 60 degrees too with some rainy days ahead.

Calm day at work which was a good things as Linda had alot of "fixing" to do of mistakes or outright failure to do things while we were off. We are getting pretty exasperated with our two assistants. It usually takes our first day back to fix what they've screwed up while we were off. Today was no different. Linda worked on making these corrections while I started making contact with a new batch of candidates for the site manager position. There are several couples that have previous self storage experience so I'm hoping there might be some potential in this group so that we can get someone hired for here. It will be 2 months that we've been here, on Nov. 8th and we're ready to move on. We'll see how it goes. The unemployment situation, in this country, doesn't really equate to hard and fast numbers until you start to talk to people or see people's resumes where they've been in what would appear to be "stable" positions only to be laid off. That is the case with some tenants we've talked to and I'm seeing it in the resumes I'm reviewing. Sad situation indeed ! There are a ton of talented people out there that are out of work. It gives me pause to wonder how long it will be before our country has totally rebounded from this recession to get everyone back to work. A long road ahead....
