meara, always ask for more. If you need specific language help, text or call me. Congratulations on the offer! This salary is what all future salary raises and bonus are based on and you'll never have another time where you have such leverage than before you start.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[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.

meara, all they can say is no. I negotiated for more money, and they gave some of what I asked for, plus another concession (which I later found out they would have paid for anyway, but it felt good at the time :) ) I was terrified, especially since I was out of work at the time, but I decided to go for it.

Sounds like good things in the works for some Bitches. As it should be.
I just had my first real voice lesson. Now I'm totally self conscious about what my voice sounds like. In a good way. Sort of.

Yay, voice lessons.
Well, my night just took a turn for the crappy - I can't find my wallet. I looked in all the logical places and several logically illogical ones (like the fridge) and it's nowhere to be found. I called Walmart, where I last used it this evening, and nope. No wallet of that description. FML. I guess it's time to check my bank account?
Also, I then discovered that at some point in the last few days, Frankie peed on my yoga mat as it leaned up against the wall. ::sigh::

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

No, no, no, nope. Nor car, nor bathroom floor, nor fridge, nor any flat surface in my house...
