When it comes to hiring and enforcing the understanding what a person was hired for and the agreement that there are things that they must accept about their job description, it's the written that holds weight, right?
Juliebird, that would be my assumption, too.
Kate, I'm not sure I'd ask for vacation because in my private school experience it would never have been possible. Days off rarely were.
That's what I figured, Kat.
So I asked for $x+2500, and they came back with $x+1000, and I said yes! My first successful salary negotiation! Now I'm just waiting for them to send me the paperwork to fill out for my background check. Am hoping to have a contract in hand by the end of the week so I can give my notice at my current job. Yay!
Lee, that sounds pretty sensible to me. Have you boarded him before?
YAY Kate!
Have you boarded him before
Yep, at the place he goes during the day. He seems to like it okay.
Business attire!
Boo! At least it's not business casual?
Yay Kate! Successful negotiation!
Yay Kate!
Lee, would putting him in the bedroom with the door closed and the TV on work?
Yay Kate!
I am kinda charmed by that resume, but like Sophia, I hire undergrads.
Oh, update on my sister: she seems to be emerging from her fugue state, so that's good. Overall prognosis is less good, but I'm learning to not fixate on the overall prognosis.
Am I crazy to think that if I like this, [link] I should instead buy a cheap actual wood table off craigslist and paint it? I have seen one with the same basic shape for $50, but couldn't deal with transport. But it could be worth it to hire movers, depending.
He could go on his way thinking, "if only I had a pet iguana, that hot chick would talk to me."
Using chickbait means it's less likely that he'd think that.
ita, have you seen this? Maybe you posted it and I missed it? It's totally a link worthy of you.
It's sad how many things I'd read that fell into the same category before I got into fandom--before I got into my twenties, even. That's been a me link for thirty years...
I just got into the weirdest "we're so fucked!" IT argument outside the restrooms for twenty minutes. My GOD my foot hurts. Politically dodgy, plus my combatant wants to go for drinks with me now.
Another co-worker whose name I only just learnt thinks I'm a beautiful person inside and out and wants me to call her instead of getting up for stuff. I don't want to break her heart.
Kate, congrats! I've never pulled that off!
Now to go back to IO9 and see how someone combative responds to the "please never have this discussion with someone you give a fuck about, tho" gambit. ::sigh::
