The Aussie was quite bossy and would bark if you weren't doing what she wanted.
Ha! So. Very. Aussie. (I love the herding breeds with a mad insane passion. But, yeah, a little opinionated.)
Oh, wow. This place looks great. Oh, I feel like a witch in a magic shop.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Nora, I agree with vw. Especially if you didn't put it in writing anywhere for them to refresh their memories. It's easy at that point to bump it up 2K or 5K, whatever you feel a more accurate range is.

Well, *she* wrote it down. I will just need to steel myself to not accept the offer immediately until thinking it over and figuring out if I should negotiate.

Absolutely negotiate. Especially if you have new information about what the job would entail.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I will just need to steel myself to not accept the offer immediately until thinking it over and figuring out if I should negotiate.
Definitely. And remember that you may be able to negotiate for things besides money -- benefits and perks.

Thanks for asking the question Nora. I'm waiting to see what I am offered for my new job. I haven't been asked what I want, and there are some other issues at play - so it will be interesting to see what they offer. But I'm ready to negotiate if it does not meet my current expectations.
It is nice to read everyone's support of waiting for the offer and then negotiating from there.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yup, this. Lots of things are negotiable, and employers sometimes like doing those because it gives them more invisible latitude with the overall compensation package.
Man, Liese, I can't believe you threw out the superintendent!
Ha. So wrong. He came back, though. He wasn't offended for long.
So. Very. Aussie.
The Biscuit is mainly Australian Shepherd, and he's totally like this although we're trying to work out some of the more annoying behaviors. (You may ask nicely to be petted. You may not charge into the room demanding instant pettification.)
Are Aussies generally barky? Ours never used to bark at all, in the desert, but he sure barks a lot here in the neighborhood. I'm hoping it calms down when we get to the new house, but sheesh, dog.

I bet the Biscuit is barking more because there is more to bark about.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, I definitely believe this. It's just a more active neighborhood, very dog-oriented. Lots of people, kids playing, moms walking strollers down the street. He's very happy. Just very barky.
