Buffy. When I saw you stop the world from, you know, ending, I just assumed that was a big week for you. Turns out I suddenly find myself needing to know the plural of 'apocalypse.'

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Ann, that's a ferret.

That's pretty much what said. I'm just being overly worried.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

How about something like this, JZ?
Dear GiveMeMoreMoney!People,
After reviewing my salary and withholdings with X, I've discovered that my take home pay would be $350 less per month than my net pay in my current position. While I really want to take this position and am excited at the prospect of working for COMPANY, I simply can't take a cut in pay and support my family. Unfortunately, unless there is room for further salary discussion, I will have to rescind the offer.
I sincerely hope that we can reach a mutually beneficial solution as I'm so looking forward to working with you. I'm sorry that I didn't realize sooner how much my withholdings and insurance would affect my net pay. I look forward to speaking with you.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Gloomcookie is good at this stuff! I'm sorry you're being placed in this position, JZ. {{JZ}}
Also, Laga! For the use of your recliner, you get a totally awesome mix CD. Give me inspiration.

Trust my rage
I like GC's letter. Although technically, you accepted their offer but I'm not sure of a better way to word it. My other thought is, and this might be more personal than you want to get into, would be to add something about "sole regular income for a family of four" simply as a way of saying "I'm really not just asking for more money. This is a serious problem for me".

You know, I love buffistas. I was actually thinking something like what Lee said, but thought it made me sound a little too pedantic so I just left it.
Which is not to say that Lee is a pedant, but that she is just right.

Go pedant! Choose pedant!
