OK, someone wanna tell me the perfect phrase to use when I call and say "I received the FedEx with the offer information, and it's what you said yesterday and all is very exciting, but on reflection, I'm really a bit disappointed in the base salary, is there anything you can do about that?" (Which would be fine, until he says "No, not really"). Is there a better way ot put it?
I already know what I'm gonna call her. Got a name all picked out...

Preface it with the "I received everything" and ask if the salary/base pay is at all negotiable?

Odd request - anybody have any decent pictures of me?
I need something to accompany my Oxford American article, and my photobucket is relatively empty.

I'm getting the pig!
A bucket.
Um... you should probably buy the chains and sound-proofing stuff prior to buying the bucket. The bucket is, like, the last thing you need to get on that particular "home improvement" list.
What? You didn't mean "bucket" in *that* way?
eta: let me check my pics, Hec.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Alternatively, you could go to the aquarium and steal a bucket from a walrus. But that would make him sad.

More black smoke from the movie set...and a camera-copter overhead.
Man, my appointments this evening aren't going to be too distracted.
The DP, who looks kind of familiar, is up on the roof of the building across the street.
My neighbor wondered what is going to happen to the thousands and thousands of dollars worth of beautiful tulips that were just removed from the set for the post-explosion scenes. Seems like a right place, at the right time, opportunity, but I must work!

Ran across something that made me chuckle. Over at SmartBitches they reviewed an erotic novel based on "Phantom of the Opera", and part of the review was "it flips a love triangle over, chains it to a bed on wheels and leads it to the kinky section of the erotica shelf". Sometimes, the reviews are more entertaining than the subject (I still remember one review of "The Story of O" titled "Boy Beats Girl". And one of another movie titled "Xanadon't").

Argh. I *would* steel my nerves to call and discuss salary, but the man isn't at his desk! Sigh. One more call in a few minutes, then I have to go to dinner...
