FAQs Does this item have any stains or odors? - We do our best to describe the item's condition as we see it, items come from a smoke-free home with no pungent odors (unless stated above). All items are sold AS-IS, please ask any questions before bidding. Buyer assumes the risk that new-NRFB items may have flaws once removed from box or undressed. Do you accept anything other than PayPal? - No, I accept PayPal only and immediate payment is much appreciated. An automatic unpaid item case will be opened if payment is not received within 4 days. Do you offer combined shipping? - I happily offer combined shipping on multiple items. If you win/purchase more than one item, please use the "Request Total from Seller" button on the checkout page OR wait for me to send your combined shipping invoice (which, either way, is usually done the following afternoon). If you go ahead and make payment without waiting for a combined shipping invoice, I can only assume this is your way of donating a "little extra" to cover the cost of cat food. If you are allergic to cats, this is a warning that Henry, the CEO of this little operation, is a cat! Cat hairs are sometimes included at no additional charge :)Can you offer a cheaper shipping option? - The shipping option(s) listed is/are the choice(s) for this item. International Buyers - Please do not ask me to lower the declared value of the item or mark it as a gift. I do not use the Global Shipping Program.

I arrived in New York State on February 14, 2004. I moved in with a friend who lived in a blink-and-you-miss-it town called Olivebridge and I was ready for my new chapter in life. I started searching through the local papers and looking online for jobs that I felt I was qualified for. With no college education and only a high school diploma it felt very limiting and I hesitated applying for many positions even if I felt I was qualified and sometimes even over-qualified for the job. I had been my ex-husband‘s right-hand for so many years, taking care of the bookkeeping/payroll side of his business but with no real formal education. I went on a few interviews which was scary since it had been SO long since doing such a thing. I finally landed a job as an office manager for the Depuy Canal House, a New York Times four-star restaurant located in tiny little hamlet called High Falls that was primarily made up of a postage stamp sized Post Office (pun intended) and 6-8 restaurants. I was thrilled to be hired for this position and loved the energy of the atmosphere and the quaintness of the town. The lady I was replacing trained me for one week and then she was gone and I was left to figure things out as I went along. I never used QuickBooks to keep bookkeeping records for my ex-husband‘s business but now I was faced with learning this newfangled software. Since math was always my best subject, I quickly got the hang of it and I was able to do my job with flying colors. My boss, John Novi, and I formed a close friendship and I felt he truly liked and trusted me, which from stories I would hear wasn’t usually the case with many of the office managers in the past. Before I knew it I was asked to do several different job tasks including filling in when waitresses didn’t show up or when we got extremely busy, being a hostess or bartending in the evenings, and cleaning the five B&B rooms that the restaurant also operated when we lacked cleaning staff. I got the hang of using Quickbooks and took charge of the company’s accounts payable/receivable in a way I believe no one else had in a LONG time. Life was good, I was making new friends, spending my days off roaming the unknown roads searching for “lost soles” and familiarizing myself with my new surroundings; I felt very much at home and my new life chapter was playing out very gratifyingly.
