We know you’ve been holding your breath out there, wondering
if Stokefire ever found the organizational genius we were seeking to fill the
Executive Assistant/Office Coordinator position we advertised here and
elsewhere. We weren’t looking for much –
just a friendly and cheerful person who can guard the gates, manage the mail
and phones, mind the facility, schedule the conference rooms, plan events, herd
cats, set up the library, name all the constellations, keep the Boss’ schedule organized, fix latitude and
longitude, keep the Boss organized, and archive and catalog our extensive and colorful aggregation of
old documents stored in the world’s saggiest collection of Whole
Foods sacks. That’s all.
And, guess what? We
found one. Megan Stemen does it all
(even the cat herding) with such good cheer and straightforward efficiency that
we already know we’re lucky as heck that she came looking for us.
Megan comes to us from the gnarly world of car towing, where
she owned her own Tag and Title business and developed heady skills in office and
document management, system development, communications, and data
management. In addition to that she is
highly experienced in dealing with sometimes irate strangers on a daily basis.
Not, mind you, that we get a lot of irate strangers at
Stokefire Central. In fact, the folks
who take the trouble to seek out our kind-of-secret-headquarters are most often
fans, whether of the client type, job seekers, or just old friends. We’re right in Old Town Alexandria, but in a
building behind a building – you could maybe find Batman’s cave more easily
than our front door. You’re just going
to have to call Megan and ask for directions.
You’ll be glad you did.
And not just because you didn’t get lost.
