I've been doing a lot of thinking. With the business just being the two of us...I think it's time to do some recruiting. And to formalize things. Here's what I'm thinking:

1. Five full-time investigator positions. Two of them are taken up by us, assuming you're still in, so three investigator openings left available. Salary is 65k a year.
2. At least one, possibly two, more research assistant positions open. This is not counting Bree, if she still wants it. If she doesn't, then at least two, possibly three openings. Salary for this is 40k a year. Bree would be under the table until we could legally pay her, obviously. Unless there's some way I can get away with paying her legally. They wouldn't be coming on investigations with us unless we sorely need it or there's no apparent danger.
3. One secretary position. He/she won't be coming on investigations with us, unless we sorely need him/her.
4. Consultants...I can't think up any other word for it. This would be what Dean does, assuming he still wants to. Investigators-for-hire? Hm. Whatever. I'm thinking a flat 12k fee, with bonuses thrown in on a case-by-case basis.

So, what do you think? I want honest, constructive criticism. I never went to business school, so I don't know how a more formalized structure is going to work.

You still want to help us with research, Bree? I can understand if you don't, I...haven't been myself recently. I'm trying to get a more formalized structure going, so I just need to know if you're still in so I can determine how many research assistant positions I have open.

Still interested in being a consultant for the agency? Or, uh, investigator-for-hire. Whichever term you prefer. I'm putting together a more formalized structure for the agency, so I figure I should know.

	'Course. I don't mind doing stuff on the sly. How've you been, man? (Reply to this) (Thread)

On the sly? I'm guessing there's a story there.

Haven't had a drop of alcohol in weeks. The cigarettes...I still have one, every now and again, but I'm trying to keep it in check.

Got confronted by a superteen, and let me say it is immensely humiliating that it took a sixteen year old kid showing up in my house and pretty much scolding me for me to get my act together.

	Nah, just means that hunting isn't my 9 to 5 anymore. Smokes are harder to quit than booze, so I hear. ... dude, that's fucking harsh. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Gotcha. Any chance you'd accept payment for jobs? I was figuring around a 12k consultant fee, with bonuses based on what the job was, how dangerous it ended up being, etc. That's the god's honest. Can't say as I blame him. Apparently in the future I become a giant douchebag. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Dude, no. It's a favor to you, and I don't need the money. You can do it. I never picked it up - don't need something that makes me easier to track. Could be worse, you could've always been one. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Figured you'd say that. Got a particular charity of interest? I'll donate the 12k there. It's a long trek. For now I've got it down to one or two a day, maybe another if I'm really stressed. Which is a huge improvement over where I was, trust me. Very true. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Anything with kids sounds okay by me. Yeah, it's something you're going to have to fight your whole life, but you can. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Got it. I'm prepared for that. If I can fight dark gods, I'm pretty sure I can kick a cigarette addiction. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Yes, but I'd have to talk to Uncle James and Aunt Lily. They might want to come with me. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Bree guyin302 2008-10-30 10:01 pm UTC (link)
	That's fine. If they want to talk to me about it, let them know they can reach me here or at [home number] and [office number]. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Hell yeah. I'm still in. Sorry I kind of dropped off the map in the way of keeping up with business but...you know, some life stuff happened. I'm not really much of a business person myself, but if we put that information out there I don't think it's going to be real hard to attract people. Those salaries are more than fair. I'll put up an ad right away, if you want. (Reply to this) (Thread)

No worries. I've been wandering around moping for the past couple months instead of taking care of my responsibilities, so believe me when I say I'm familiar with the life stuff, too.

Thanks, but I figure it should probably be me putting up the ad, at least on here. I am the guy running the business, and the guy who hasn't been taking care of it when he should've been. I've got the ad all prepared, truthfully. I just wanted to know how you felt about it all and if you were still in.

	Cheers to moping! We're bound for something interesting tomorrow, at least. Well I think it sounds just delicious. Go on ahead and put it up, I am still in. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	With this universe? That is a sucker's bet, man. Thanks. I'm hoping we can get things back on track, finally. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You know it. Me too. Let me know if I can do anything to help. (Reply to this) (Parent)
