Vortex's idea is good. Just keep reminding them, as they trundle through the red tape nonsense that Yes, I Did Work, and Yes, I'ma Get Paid For It.
Spike: We got a history, him and me. Fred: What? Spike: It was a long time ago. He was a young Watcher, fresh out of the academy when we crossed paths. It was a, what-you-call battle of wills and blood was spilled. Vendettas were sworn. It was a whole-- Fred: My God you're so full of crap. Spike: Yeah. Okay.

[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 would be nice! (Profile addy should be good.)

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Ok, can I just say that getting paid weekly ROCKS LIKE A PIECE OF GRANITE?!?

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
it is perfectly acceptable for Teacup Guy to say that he's going to take some time to think over the offer for a couple of days. I think it's also perfectly acceptable for him to ask for more salary/perqs -- so long as he's comfortable with getting a "no" answer.
He's fine with the "no" answer, but I think he is more worried about the "no we no longer want you to work for us" answer.

sj, if he likes the offer, I'd say go for it. I don't really know what to do if he thinks it's too low, or there's something else he needs.
Erin, I have recently found that I like knowing what the goals are for the year, or at least the next unit. What are the kids going to be learning in class and is there any concrete way I can support that (beyond browbeating homework)?

This is my freak-out with every new job. I suck rocks at negotiating things like that.

It's not likely that just asking for a few more perks or a counter offer of salary would result in a complete reversal of the job offer. Not if they really want him.
Of course, this is coming from a person who's stringing along on spec. So take that for what it's worth.

Cashmere, your situation does make me uncomfortable, but I would do the same thing. I hope it all works out splendidly, even better than you hope.

Yeah. This is where DH and I differed. I was confident walking out of the meeting because it felt like I had passed a test and was moving on to the next level. The next meeting may not even result in a definite offer, but at least the meter is still running.

I was just browsing on the Lush website. . . I'm too broke to actually purchase any Lush products. So, I went to the "stores" page to see where the closest store is to my sister-in-law (D.C. is the closest) and saw that not only is a third Chicago store opening up but there is going to be one in Oakbrook. (Am now imagining shopping at Lush and then having lunch at CPK.)
