Important Note
This job is not for everyone. If you want to generally be at home in the evenings, and you work efficiently at the office, maybe this could work for you. If you have ever been deeply offended because someone labeled you as a drama queen/king; probably not for you. If you love making to-do lists and tracking your work, maybe this is for you. If you can hear, understand, retain and apply somewhat complex instructions, this may be for you. If you can generally bring peaceful dialogue into play when others are feeling stress, this might be for you. If you move slowly, think slowly, and work slowly; this may not be your place. If you excel at prioritizing tasks, keeping clients happy, and providing careful service, we may be your new work home. There will be litigation, but that's likely to be less than 1/3 of your work load.
