I completed a policy and procedures portion of the company policy manual today. I also added a brief company history as well. piece by piece i am putting this thing together.
Brian interviewed Joy Huber today. She is interested in the programmer position. I also learned while listening in a bit that she can be helpful in web designing as well. She seems to be interested in the position and seems as if she will fit right in.
Here is a look at what i have put together today in our policy manual...
