Yet another late day
Got the two key people hired at the bakery, one started today, one Friday.
I hired a local kid to work busing tables and doing dishes and will start him on food prep in a week or two.
Have two other people to call and interview so the Bakery is getting well staffed.
The owners were several thousand dollars behind on their Labor and Industries taxes and their bank account had been suspended by L&I. To get around this, I had them open up a new account so I could control it and use it to operate the store. Found out today that L&I had put a hold on that one too. Two weeks ago, I had gone into the Bellingham office of L&I, talked with their accounts officer and agreed to set up a payment plan starting January 28th. We also agreed that all L&I payroll taxes incurred after the November 1st handoff date would be paid promptly and in full (this is part of the budget I am starting with). Looks like a classical case of one hand not knowing what the other hand is doing -- a call to Olympia will be in order tomorrow morning.
Went out to a local Mexican restaurant for dinner and now home and surfing the election results.
