Mal ,'Heart Of Gold'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Skipped like a skippy thing to say that I am settling in to watch David Tennant in Hamlet on PBS!
!!!!!!!!
Thank god PBS shows things again. TiVoing the overnight showing.
Sophia, I'm sure P can ask for help at the grocery if something confuses him. He's an adult right? He should be able to figure out a grocery list.
You know, I just remembered why I don't watch Glee, despite the fact that it seems taylor-made for me. I just made it 2:53 before "watch from the hall" made me click pause.
He's an adult right?
That is questionable, but he is 40! He still usually eats the meal prepared for the kids, which is fries and chicken nuggets. Except he doesn't eat chicken. He basically will only eat unseasoned beef, pasta, fries or mashed potatoes. AAARGH!!!
Can you give him specific brands of things that might be confusing? I know I spent a long time in front of the hummus area of my supermarket just the other day!
And please just ask people for rides.
Tennant is kind of looking like my friend Kenneth wiht his hair slicked back. Weird.
OK, this is making the rounds on my coworker's facebook pages and staff mailing list : [link] (shout outs, 3 minutes in.) and [link]
I love it. Really, really love it.
I am saved! Our grocery store chain (Wegman's) has an online shopping list that I can do and email to him-- this is awesome!
Okay, Vortex, what about giving your current salary with full markup for all benefits?
I would do this, but just say "My salary is in the (whatever range), not including benefits." Don't itemize it for them in advance; wait till you're face-to-face if possible.
My company pays less than its competitors. But the benefits are pretty good, as they pointedly remind us at salary review time. So if I thought I was getting lowballed I would start listing every plus down to the free parking if it wasn't comparable. Along with stuff like: I have my own office, it's a short commute, they're pretty flexible about vacation scheduling, etc.
I love it. Really, really love it.
Aw!
Oh shit, I just remembered I have a meeting in the morning. Good thing I thought of it now! And not, you know, noon tomorrow...
And I guess I should have some thoughts about selling myself as a consultant. Oy vey.
