Spike's Bitches 39: Cuppa Tea, Cuppa Tea, Almost Got Shagged, Cuppa Tea...  

[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.

Mostly lurking...

Nora, I think that looks great.

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

Nora, "leaning toward" sounds a bit soft, but I have no actual helpful suggestions.

Go, Nora. Think how much easier it is to negotiate via e-mail pre-offer than it would be face-to-face with an offer on the table.

juliana, I know what you mean though.

"...feel more comfortable with the $XY,000 end of my salary requirements that I mentioned yesterday"

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I think I'm going to have to agree with putting today on The List. I had stupid traffic this morning, as in, no actual wrecks or anything, but every idiot the Great State of Texas deemed it appropriate to hand a licence to were out in full force this morning. I have a different coworker out today, still leaving me with a net of one coworker-the one who will not handle anything that is not explicitly his job, instead handing it off to me who's job it explicitly is not. Everybody wants updates and then insists what I see in the database is not correct, which may be true, but I can't tell that from here, and the one counselor who is here and could move the file keeps handing them off to me.

Also, clients who call wanting information on their file should give me the correct last name. When I say, "You said your name was Smith? I have someone matching your social under Jones." Please do not say "Uh Huh," as if that were a thing I would have known. I will make the bad MM patented splorchy sound with your skull.

Maybe instead of

Relatedly, based on our discussion, I’d feel more comfortable leaning toward the $XY,000 end of my salary requirements that I mentioned yesterday.

Relatedly, based on our discussion, I feel that the $XY,000 end of my salary requirements would be a more appropriate expectation for the job as I now understand it.

Though it's good the way it is.

Always Anti-fascist!

feeling that sucks: When your remote dies, and you feel like "No...take me instead!" Because my mother would not have to attempt to program another daughter. And, book group is cancelled. Yeah, today is totally on my list.

-t is a great wordsmith.

I wish they would decide which category my new job is going to fall into so then I can get an idea of the pay range. My new boss is talking with HR today to get the job created, so we will see when I hear anything.

Yes, -t has the gist of it.
