The decision was harder than you expected, 12 great candidates and the interviews never seemed to end. Now you and Carla have it narrowed down to just 3.
Robert, a young college graduate, gung ho about making a difference in the world and he wants to start here. Over anxious but a lot of drive and still room to grow.
Denise, a college drop out actually but has over 10 years experience in the position. Not as young as Robert but has a lot of drive as well and she has a great attitude and sense of humor.
And finally Paula, mid 30's, very educated, super attitude, knows the position well and made the best impression of any applicant. Problem being, you can't remember her eye color but could probably pic out her next bra.
Carla didn't care for working with her, so she's probably not going to make the cut.
It has been a long day and decisions still have to be made. You leave in only 5 days for your sabbatical and still no temp has been chosen.
A decision should still be made on performance, so upon discussion with the wonderful Carla, you decided to try each of your three possibilities out for one day each and make your decision at the end of the week.
After a bit of grumbling amogst them after this announcement, everyone was in agreeance with this little trial.
"No pressure right?" you joke adding a little chuckle.
"So tomorrow we will open the office with Robert. You all know what time we open, so I'll see you each throughout the next few days. Thank You" You say as you are shutting the door behind everyone.
" Uh Carla, can you stay for just a moment?" you add."I know it's late and you're ready to go, just a moment though"
"Yes Sir, what can I do for you?" asks Carla
You fall back into your chair, running your hand through your hair.
"It has been a long day, I'm ready to just relax. I know this may be inapropriate, but how would you like to hang out a bit at my place for a movie and take out? I'd rather not be alone this evening and you are about the only friend I have in this world, let alone this office."
Without hesitation, she agrees.
"I'm a little surprised, I didn't plan ahead. Now what?" You blurt out with a little chuckle.
She is looking at you waiting. " What are we going to eat?"
"Well Chinese is a bit cliché, so how do you feel about pasta?" You ask with a look of uncertainty.
