Flexible sounds right. "I'm willing to show some flexibility in compensation since [position] seems like such a good fit for my skills" maybe? If that is true.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

'Flexibility' is your friend. Bend like the willow!
Uber texted me (and the rest of the drivers, of course) that they're offering $10 guaranteed fares 4-8pm, because of the Nor'easter. I'm tempted to take them up on it, since I've been itching to Make Money for two days now.

Stay safe if you do!
People are in a tizzy about the storm that is supposed to hit us tomorrow evening. I may be too blase about wind and rain.

I'm not sure that cookie has your best interests at heart, Jess. You can't always trust baked goods, much as I would like to.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Listen to the cookie!! Or don't -- that does sound like a wacky way to handle being asked for too much money. But what do I know?
The weather is really horrifying here. I'm trying to decide how much time to leave to get where I'm going after work, because I bet many many buses will be too full to get on. Maybe taking the subway (the long way around) is actually a better choice today.

Jess, that is totally my nightmare about salary negotiations. Ugh! Here's hoping they respond well to the flexibility line.

Oh, yeah, that is the scary part of not undervaluing yourself.
ETA: I get stressed out pricing things for garage sales. Pricing my time/labor is so much worse.
