So the job offer I was waiting on came in. It includes kind of a high-level summary of benefits ("you are eligible for medical, dental, vision, etc."), but no specifics. Is it weird to reply and ask for more details?
Wesley: Illyria can be...difficult. Testing her might be hard without getting someone seriously hurt. Angel: We'll make Spike do it. Wesley: Good.

Not that we needed the additional evidence to know, but you are clearly a rockstar, Calli.

Yay Calli!
I feel like a fallen souffle. I'm forcing myself to work thru this Lynda.com tutorial in 15 minute bursts. (And oh good -- I just realized I can take another dose of Tylenol because the time is up.)

On an actuaql offer? Like, you could just reply and accept and you have a job? Not weird to ask for more details.

Yeah, "medical" could mean you get in a pool to lower rates, but you're responsible for all of it. Or it could mean the company picks up 90% of the tab. That's probably a difference of multiple hundreds of dollars per month, so I'd definitely want to get more details before accepting. That said, congrats on the offer!
And thanks, -t and Theodosia!

Definitely ask for more details. That's ridiculous to give you something so vague.

Sounds like HR wants to play hardball -- you have more bargaining room if you get them to specify BEFORE you accept.

Agreeing with everyone that an actual job offer means you get to ask for more details. Congrats!
First day of summer vacay and the skies are grey. Oh the irony! I'm still aiming for either pool or beach later today, and maybe a bike ride if it stays cool this morning. Need to air the kids out or they will be as stinky as old fish later.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Good news, Dana -- and yeah, definitely ask for the details!
Go you, Calli!
I am continuously surprised by school year schedules in other places -- here, they aren't getting out until June 25!
