I am the g/f. I was so touched when my boss made the offer I nearly burst into tears! I have always worked at medium to large companies so I never experienced such generosity from the owner before. In addition to the cash, he also provides lunch for the employees every week. The office is attached to their home and another perk is the use of their gorgeous pool. Although it's only a temp job filling in for a maternity leave, I sure hit the jackpot! After such a long time of rejection and lost hope, I really appreciated the kindness.

And thanks for all the support from you guys too! You're da bestest!!
