Just told boss that I got an offer. He was sad but happy for me. And asked what I'd want if they could make a counter-offer. Nobody's ever counter-offered for me before! I said 4 days working at home a week + pay raise + monkey butler. Or, possibly, cabana boy.
I don't know what I'll do if they can meet my requests. The idea of a change is (while scary) pretty intriguing to me now. And I don't know if there's anything else I can do here in terms of furthering my career, such as it is.
Now...I really want BK. I haven't had it all year! I should probably just stick with the hummus and veggies I brought though.
The thing about counter-offers is if you accept one, then they know exactly how much your soul costs.
Amazon apparently has too good an idea of who I am, or at least who my virtual friends are...for Jon

hah! hmm...yeah. I told him that even if he can get everything I want I still may need to take the other job. He's always been fine with me working from home but the PTB at the company are not. For reasons that have never been adequately explained.
PTB are often inexplicable.
In related news, my boss is so fucking crazy. I just accidentally gave her fake-sign-language hands when she asked me for the fourth time "what does that mean?" about a simple statement of fact.
I love Zach Braff. And I wish I had cupcakes.
OMG. People.
Nothing like Jesse's boss, though.
And, um, what are "fake-sign-language hands"?

hah! I assumed this to be "the middle finger" sign.
I'd assumed it was one of those times when you sit there gesturing helplessly trying to communicate something to someone who doesn't understand language-language.

Oh god, it's embarassing -- it's like, apparently you can't hear what I'm saying, so maybe this will help. I don't think I can describe it any better in text.
