Today I finally staggered into work mid-morning. I had wanted to show up earlier, but with my sleep cycle in its current state of disarray I was happy to get there before noon.
However, that isn't the good news part.
The good news was that an ex-night baker showed up this morning and said, "I've just moved back into town and am looking for a job. I heard you needed a night baker, so I want to apply." "!!!!!!!" is a good summary of my reaction to this. When he worked for me he was reliable and made great bread and when he quit he gave lots of notice. And he won't need training, because I've already trained him. I'm not seeing any downsides here.
I didn't hire him on the spot because I never hire people on the spot, ever. But I plan to call him up tomorrow and arrange an interview at his earliest convenience. I'm hard put to imagine what would make me not rehire him but you never know. Having him back on staff would reduce my Night Baker Crisis back to the level of Annoying Issue That Needs To Be Solved Quickly, and I am completely in favor of this.
