I still buy books instead of lip gloss.
I buy both. No reason not to be a fancified bookworm, I always say.
Well, actually, I never say that. (Except for just now.)

[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.

So I was doing some craft stuff while Mal was eating dinner (I am NOT allowed to feed him anymore), sitting next to him and chatting with him, and I apparently can no longer multi-task as I put the tiny drill bit through my thumbnail, by jamming it under the nail and out through the nail, well below the quick.
There's something about blood welling out of the middle of your nail that's wrong.
Also I broke the drill bit in this maneuver and can't find it. Hopefully I'll find it before Mal does.

vw, that's great news about the loan!
Nora, that does stink. You do not suck, and it is very likely they said no for reasons that do not reflect on you. Here, the thing most likely to determine where your salary falls is equity among staff, rather than cost of living or anything reasonable like that. Because A makes X, B can only make X-Y.
Raq, ouch.
My meeting went okay. However, it generated two more meetings for me. Yucko.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I'm so sorry, Nora -- I think it's fantastic that you got up the bravery to try, but it may very well be that they were more strictly limited in their salary range than you guessed; I doubt it was anything that reflects on you. Still, it sucks to get turned down.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Speaking from an HR perspective--they may not have that amount budgeted for salary or have a policy of starting at the low end of the range or whatever., none of it has to do with you All you can do with an offer like that is have the guts to ask, which you did, and getting turned down is not a reflection on you. Hell, they already offered you the job, right? That means they want you around.
