Yeah, I don't know. He'll talk to the headhunter in the morning about it. Fortunately, we are okay money-wise so it's not a crisis. The hit to his self-confidence is worse.
So, how was your summer? Mine was fun. Saw some fish. Went mad with hunger. Hallucinated a whole bunch.

Is there a COL difference between ABQ and where you are now? And if so, does that make the salary difference more or less of a problem?

It's roughly the same cost of living.

No harm in negotiating though.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That's rough, Dana. I'm glad to hear the headhunter is confident.
Last song heard = Hounds of Love. Not going to pursue that train of thought any further, I don't think.

Last song I heard was Adam Sandler's rewritten Hurricane Sandy version of "Hallelujah."

Today was a day.
I had to interview two people and thus had a lot of impromptu huddling with my team to go over what questions we asked and what areas needed further exploration. When I wasn't doing that, I was dealing with a deeply crazeballs situation that had me creating an Achievement Unlocked meme because there was no other possible response to the ridiculousness.
My head hurts.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
And it was high-larious.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The best I can hope is that it's in the recruiter's interest for your husband to make bank, so let's trust them.
I am taking most of tomorrow off, but not getting out hugely early, since I need to take an 11am call.
It was just a test of my boss stepping back of sweating the details--we're over budget on my current project because of a bug in someone else's software, and he's freaking out. Manager is telling him to wait until I get back, and we'll talk to the vendor, but it's not panic time now. He's visibly restraining himself from exploding with me in the room, but he's not allowed to. He's been kept apprised, and his direct report is telling him she'll handle it.
Me, I'm grabbing my pretty ornament from Michaels (the price tag is still on, and I'm honestly surprised someone spent 9 bucks on me without taking credit) and RUNNING LIKE THE WIND.

OMG, Cashmere. Good on you.
