Welcome to Gaia! ::

“Humm… a fan of dystopian societies, well, sort of. I’m more of a historical fantasy then futuristic but that’s just a personal preference.” Jessie shrugged and smiled gesturing to the barebones of the garden. The stone and heavy metal sculptures were still there peeking out from bushes or sitting in what will eventually become a riot of color when the flowers bloomed. Pan danced, playing his panpipes, in a bed of shoots… daffodils if Jessie remembered right. A dragon was curled around the base of the pedestal for the mirrored gazing ball. The flowers that would eventually screen him slightly were annuals so she changed them each year, Clover last year I think. Marigolds, with maybe a few brighter colors for pop this year. Gnomes, fairies, silly faced gargoyles, all hid in the eventual color and green providing kids and adults alike amusement when they spot them. “I personally like the elf door that I add to one of the trees once everything starts to come in. I don’t like leaving some of the more fragile items out all winter.” The metal squirrel was one of those items and since it was moved often as a sort of a game, it wasn’t something Jessie wanted lost or damaged.

Jessie pulled her mind back to the interview… although it seemed to have digressed more into a book conversation which Jessie liked a lot more than the typical interview questions. “Anyway, other than those first three what would you suggest for a, hum…. Ten year old girl who is really into space and science?” No real answer was correct here, Jessie was just curious to see what Avacyn would come up with… even if it was a ‘not sure, would have to look.’

Jessie smiled, it was one of her favorites too. It kind of reminded her of Ladon, the dragon who guarded the tree of the golden apples in the Garden of the Hesperides.

"I would have had to look it up too so that's normal." As far as Jessie could tell this young woman would work just fine. "One more question. If the paperwork works out, would you be ok working nearly full time or would you rather work a day here and there?"

"Thats good" Jessie knew that Jackson was pulling as many hours as he possibly could so getting a second person would make it easier on all three of them. "Well I just need to check your references but unless something really goes wrong I can say you have the job if you want it." She knew the paper work hadn't been filled out but since all it had on it was the basic stuff; name, contact info, references, brief job history, it shouldn't take too long to get filled out. Then there was all the tax information but that would wait until the first day of training. Oh goodie. Jessie made a mental note to call her accountant to figure out just what needed to be done.

“I don’t see why not. You do read, know some stuff, and is willing to learn more.” Jessie smiled and got up, dusting off her pants. “All good earmarks for a budding bibliophile.” She laughed at her own lame joke, after all being a bibliophile didn’t mean squat when it came to working in a bookstore although it did help if you have read a large variety of books, but looking them up helps too. “Well let’s head back inside and get that pesky paperwork done. I can give you a quick walk through and I should be able to get back to you with in the week.” She started heading back inside pleased with how the day went. She had gotten the courtyard cleared and ready for planting and she now had a new employee. A good day.
