'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I have a not-all-that-hypothetical question. If you are given a job offer but are still waiting on a couple of other really interesting places, is it better to be honest with them and say you might need a week or even a little longer to decide because you have a couple of other things in play, or accept the offer and jump ship if one of the other places comes through?
I want to be upfront and honest about it, but maybe that's not realistic?
Gud, I think it depends, in part, on what your industry is like.
If I accepted a job and then bailed, it would definitely affect my future because I work in a small world.
So, generally, I'd tell the offering place that I needed time to go over their offer, but not telling them I was waiting for something better unless I was using it to bargain for a better offer (which I would then be willing to take), and put pressure on the non-offering places to give me an answer.
I agree with Sparky. I'd do the exact same thing, and indeed have done the exact same thing.
Weren't we just talking yesterday about sinus headaches? I think mine just got the message. This cold can go to hell any time.
The air-conditioning wizard is here! He did not, as I had hoped he would, arrive via dragon. He must be in disguise.
I woke up this morning and could breathe! There is hope!

In this reality, his dragon appears as a truck.
It's so sad, because Kato just wants to help the human. He doesn't understand why he can't go outside and help with his Awesome HVAC Skillz. I tried to alleviate his pain with a peanut-butter-filled Kong.
Maybe Kato wants to go look for the dragon.
