Olivia has a naughty worm too.
Bwah! She sure does. I was too hypnotized by the baby toes, I missed it the first time.
[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.

{{amych}} Lucy sounds like a great cat.
bah- how does one negotiate for a higher starting salary when offered a position?
also, {{amych}}
I'm really sorry.

Olivia is trying to distract me from her toes with that big, beautiful smile of hers! Owen looks so grown up -- haircuts age kids instantly, don't they?

Was a salary range advertised, or do you know the salary range for that type of position?
Amych, much peace for you and good passage for Lucy.
.... I had so much to say, and I've mostly forgotten it.
The underwater archeologist sounds very neat and it's nice that Mr. Raq has a distraction that's so cheery for Raq as well.
Brenda! I got the package! Aidan appropriated the flip-flops and loves them to bits. They each got a coloring book with one extra for whomever runs out of pages first, and it was such a nice thing, thank you so much.
I can't believe how beautiful Olivia is. I ought, considering her mother, but it just bowls me over, every time. Poor Owen; poor Cash. He's so cute. Nick had me cut his hair very much like that, only worse... on purpose. Now he has hair paste and does strange things to make it look even worser. Except, he had to get it cut for work so he's all verklempt it looks almost normal.
Oh, and Nick's working! This is very good news. He's actually working at a job and is one week away from his first paycheck and the job is more than 5 hours a week! Wheee! Today he had me bead his jeans in order to look flashy for his band's first show. He's a happy boy and if he actually sticks with this job I'll be happy with him.
I'm sorry about your kitty, Amych. Still miss my Beastie.
Nora, you can say something like "Thanks for the offer. I am very excited about working for you, but I was really looking for something in the range of $XXX to $XXX; is there any possibility of that?"
Be careful not not go too high. I had one applicant that I offered $25K. He came back asking for $35K. There was no way I could get even close to that, so I just said thanks, but I don't think this is a good fit for us and turned him down.
