Oz ,'First Date'
[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.
My instinct would be to treat it as assumed. "I thought about it, and with getting married and all it would be good to have a little extra coming in so yes, I'd be happy to do it. The only weeks when I'll have an issue are..."
Maybe that's passive agressive too, but.
Go with what Vortex is saying. It's always been difficult for me to phrase things right so I'm sure Vortex has got a better handle on it.
I like Vortex's direct approach.
smonster, you've got insent (or should) from me, on your question. Lemme know if you got it since I've been having fits with my email program.
I'd go for the slightly less aggressive approach--either the Brenda assumption-of-payment or the opposite, assuming it's not-- "Oh, I really don't think I could commit to something like that unless it was a paid position, you know I adore him and am happy to help on occasion, but..."
Barb, not yet. Thank you in advance! And Gud, I got yours and backflung.
meara, that's a good approach. I like your wording.
Alternatively, I would like there to be no consequences when I want to go play live-action Whack A Mole with the PMs who think their specs can be used for documentation with no extra work.
Do they ever say "It's perfectly clear to me?"
Now I'm wondering what would happen if someone had a split personality and one personality sued another.Sounds like a lawyers dream!
I have no idea how much to ask for, even if I do figure out how to bring up the subject. 5 hours a day, one day a week. Any suggestions?Call around some daycare places and see how much they ask for. Maybe half the average? Unless that is too low. So it's clearly saving her money. Or some kind of barter system, so no need for taxes, and might make it seem more affordable.
