Crap, I'm totally going to order them!
Hey, I've been in a firefight before! Well, I was in a fire. Actually, I was fired from a fry-cook opportunity. I can handle myself.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I yearn to find the stealth taquerias here. I feel certain that at least one exists but is hiding from me. Yes, I am being persecuted by a lack of taquitos.
Apologizing ain't easy and you did it well.
This. It's a big part of this community, for me, that we say what we think and feel but own the hell up when we were mistaken or were outside of the community standards.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I found the secret button on the 2007 toolbar and finished some version of status report #1. I want to crawl under a rock and hibernate. Except--steering committee meeting tomorrow. I need to find the most recent slide deck for that. Oy.

I've got a coupon for the taquiera near me--it's $1 taco day, so I do believe I'll be stopping there on the way home.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman
Employment application question -- how do you deal with the prospective employer asking how much you currently make (or made in other jobs)? Aside from the fact that it's none of their business, I am woefully underpaid in my current position, and I don't want them to use that to lowball me for the new position should they ask.
How to deal? Give a range (with the low end being what I currently make)? Not answer the question? write something like "information will be submitted if contingent for job offer"?

Is it in what they ask for in the cover letter, or on an application form? In a letter, I'd give the range of what you're looking for (even if they ask for current salary). In a form, I think I usually wuss out and list it, although maybe once I've left it blank.

Our wings are not tired.
Def don't tell what current salary is; they will lowball you. Be your own recruiter and ask for what you believe you're worth and nothing less. If it means telling them that you make more than you do, do it. I strongly feel like this is an area where it's perfectly acceptable to lie.
Listen, my last recruiter had no idea what salary I made at previous job. She knew my skillset and she priced me accordingly. Current company did not need to know they effectively gave me a 40% raise.
ETA: just got out calculator; it was a 50% raise.

But sometimes companies do a salary verification. I wouldn't want to be caught in a lie in that situation.
I'm sure I've fucked myself financially over in this scenario, but I'm that paranoid of messing up on a background check that I don't want to take the risk.
