Things are looking up.

Ah, it seems my search for new assistants is going rather well...I have two offers so far, and am negotiating a third. I hope they will be a little more reliable than Red was. Though Red, if you read this, I just want you to know that this doesn't mean you're out of a job or anything. I will just have to figure out what to do with you when you do return.

That said, if anyone else would like to assist me, just let me know.
