Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

Spike's Bitches 30: Going on Thirteen  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

How so?

It's be at most a 10k cut for Joe, but more than likely only a 5k cut. I'd get at least 5k more, but could talk her into 10k raise. The range she gave me could go up to a 15k raise for me.

Nicole, it would include a move and, to be fair, she did not know I was even thinking about school. But, school can move with me.

I'm getting the pig!

But, school can move with me.

Very true. And whatever you decide, I always wish for the best for you and your family.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Would this mean moving back to Michigan? Because a raise could go much further there, right? When I go to Minneapolis to our company's HQ, I am amazed at how much cheaper and nicer housing is there.

What is even happening?

It's be at most a 10k cut for Joe, but more than likely only a 5k cut. I'd get at least 5k more, but could talk her into 10k raise. The range she gave me could go up to a 15k raise for me.

Oh (you'd said it was a significant raise for Joe and a huge raise for you--goober). Is the cost of living lower to the extent that it would make up the difference?

Is this in MI, Aimee?

So, where would you end up moving to, Aimée? Also, what's the job security? Start-ups are a risky proposition.

All are things I need to consider.

They have pretty good investors who want to put a lot of money into the paper and make it succeed. The cost of living is definitely lower and we might even -GASP! - be able to buy a house. Then again - having my MiL in the same area code? Eh.

THen again, having my own family in the same area code is a good thing.

Aimee, would you both be writing for the paper? Because you both could, that's for damn sure.

Not just that, she'd be your boss. Still, it sounds like a good deal.
