[QUOTE="malichai, post: 1735529, member: 5747"] The name of the company is Online Financial Aid Services, LLC. We aren't web developers... I'm not sure where that came from. We error check financial aid applications and also do work with school districts interested in certain kinds of grants. Two completely different divisions still under the same company, for now. Katerek has been a truly fantastic hire and a great business decision. We are a small company, but almost all of our employees interact with each other, with management, and with the owners at least a couple times of month outside of work because of Role-playing. It's made the work environment healthier and seems to promote a sense of camaraderie. The Friday game is just the financial aid division's management side, and they get along really well now. Not that they got along poorly before, but this has been good for them. I'm not incredibly social, so I also interact more with my employees than I would otherwise. I take them out for dinner on Fridays before the game and we can then have a relaxed meeting about the work week before heading over to the estate to game. Back to Katerek though, he's been a really good GM. His initial e-mail about his interest in the job was impressive, as was the subsequent e-mail to follow-up on the first e-mail after we hadn't yet had time to respond to his initial e-mail. ;) I make pretty quick decisions, and after the first and only interview we held for the job, we decided to go with him. The games he runs are absolutely incredible, because he's running them with the idea that we have a good time. That sentence might not make sense... but a lot of GMs that I've played with in the past didn't seem to have the group's fun in mind much of the time. With Jay, there's never any question. So, thanks again Jay. I think we remember to thank you after most every sessions, but in case we've missed any, thanks. [/QUOTE]
