I'm sorry about your kitty, Amych. Still miss my Beastie.
This is not funny. This... this is a morality tale about the evils of sake.

[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.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
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.

Oh, good Nick news, Deena! Yay!
Counteroffer, Nora. What ChiKat said, basically. Not that I've ever done it, but I hear tell that it sometimes works.

I'd just like a bit more of a bump up... it's so hard to get decent pay raises here (it's totally dictated top-down) that this is the only time I see having any negotiation power.

Just phrase it as you are still considering the offer and a higher salary (do specify what you would like to make) would make accepting it more certain. Unless you really wouldn't take it with a salary below X, then say that.

CJ's teacher just called me (she talked to DH this morning) to MAKE SURE he will be at the show on Friday. Cause he is the star. OMG.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

You should go all diva on their asses and insist that CJ's dressing room have a bowl of M&Ms with all the green ones removed....

Mostly lurking...
Toto thinks we're playing the most fun game EVAH. It's called, "Toto! You're all wet! Stay on that towel!" He kicks it away. I come pick him up, lay the towel back down, put him on the towel, then he kicks it away again.
I wouldn't care so much, but he's decided to plant his wet little body where Emily likes to sit and relax when she comes home.
Oh, and I called the vet today, because I was really not happy with the way his ears looked last night. They looked filled with puss. Apparently, this medication, when mixed with ear wax, can do that. Now, wouldn't that have been a nice thing to tell a mom?
