Glad you cut and ran. I am sure the employers are too. Sounds like they all loved you and wouldn't have fired you to save their lives.
That's exactly what I'm thinking. The employees there were basically doing my job for me, incredibly nice people. And also my friend from the church that wanted her to hire me is the head of their Board and very influential, so she also probably didn't want to make her upset by firing me either. So this way she is totally blameless.
I felt really awful yesterday about it, but since I have zero Excel and Mac experience, it really was just not a great job fit. H was out of the office yesterday, back today and emailed me a dozen times again today about the job and $$ and the kids. And then called about something. He was actually very understanding about the whole thing which I thanked him for. Yeah, I suck at DBing I know!!!
I guess H also asked around his office and they seemed to think I might need to learn Excel for any office jobs. Is that something everyone knows how to do now? H was suggesting I take a class (but my idea of hell is Excel spreadsheets on a Mac) so I'm hoping that's not true!!! Karen
