[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.

Be careful you don't end up becoming her de facto therapist/shoulder to cry on/Rock of Gibraltar, too.

I am already this.

I sincerely believe that she is not trying to take advantage of me, not in an evil way, at least. I DO fear that she will be super resistant to being educated to the reality of what she is asking.

Her walkers, depending on how motivated they are, can make up to $60 per hour...A pack of 4 dogs at $15 for a half hour walk.

Zen ;)

bonny,

can you get any estimates from other companies about how much these kind of services typically cost? maybe some google searches can point you to salary levels?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Uh, let her be resistant. She can be resistant while you're off doing other things for more money.

Maria, I hope you are not joking because you HAVE to know that this town is the epicenter of need for that particular business.

I just consulted to an gentleman who is negotiating a (gulp) 58 million smackeroo contract deal to rescue a traditional manufacturing firm from certain death. He needed an emotional strategy because his 'you should bow to my credentials!' strategy was not working.

It was so FUN!

Honestly, I would give anything to be Counselor Troi for an organization that values quality of life issues and paid decently.

Like Zappos. I an green with envy...and it's not a good color on me...over Zappos' in-house life coach.

I want that job!

KILL IT WITH FIRE.

At this point, I don't care what her intent is. She's still taking horrible advantage of you. Like, people may not intend to be racist, but that doesn't absolve them of the consequences of their actions.

And, fully aware of the irony, I'm going to need a cover letter beta this evening. Anyone game?

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

I am sorry, but there is no way in hell that that is acceptable. I understand that there is skill involved in managing and walking a pack of dogs, but PR work requires more refined skills. You're not just being asked to execute a PR strategy; you're being asked to envision, create, AND execute an entire campaign.
