That sounds right on to me, smonster.
and is transparent at the top third -- so more light in my tiny bathroom
I just get the clear vinyl curtain liner and use that. With a small bathroom not having something that blocks light or space is great.

So, how would I counter offer? "I'm currently making top + $5K, and I'd really love to take this job - could you manage top + $1K?"
Basically. I mean, in theory, you should focus it more on your awesome skillz and how they're worth more than the offer, but...in reality, I think most people are going to phrase it more like "Am SO EXCITED about your company and this offer and would REALLY love to take the job...BUT....I was really hoping for something at least a little closer to my current salary. Would really love to take the job (blah blah skillz/enthusiasmcakes), is there anything we could do?" (Would other than money also be an option, smonster? I mean, obviously money is huge, but you said bennies aren't as good either? Would more vacay, opportunities to hit up NoLa, etc be good?)

And the other place you can negotiate is benefits. If they can't offer better concrete benefits, ask for more vacation time.
When we've had our phone conversations, the theme that persisted was that you wanted off of the computer and out into hands-on work, training people. That's a big deal for you and I think if that's really what this job is, it sounds like an awesome opportiunity. But you did mention the company having some issues, right? Are those resolved?
Yeah, another week of vacation would definitely be appreciated, especially if I'm going to try and stay involved with Historic Green. Is a week of vacation roughly equivalent to $1K?
I just talked to my HS friend who did accounting for them for about a year. His take is that they were taking rather more risks than he really liked, but not necessarily doing anything wrong. He recommended that I go for the ride, knowing that it might not be around forever. But you know, if I get a year of experience out of it and a move to New Orleans, could be worth it.

Depends on your yearly salary, no?! :)
Yay, Perkins!
Yay, Erin!
Yay, smonster!
This is a good news post.
What amyth said! Yay for good news!
Would a business-minded Bitch be willing to read my email request for details and see how it sounds? My adrenaline dump has faded and lo, I am tired. Cannot brane, the dumb is creeping in. I should have a rough draft in 10 min or so.
sure, shoot it over.
Vortex, if I was going to have a first-born and you wanted it, I would owe it to you. My dad is giving me some more things to think about and include.
Oh, and smonster..
I just now watched that for the first time. Will have to do it again on a faster connection.
