Jess, that is totally my nightmare about salary negotiations. Ugh! Here's hoping they respond well to the flexibility line.
When we landed here you said you needed a few days to get space worthy again and is there somethin' wrong with your bunk?

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

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Back track away, Jessica, and good luck! I hope it's a match.
I was not trying to say you have issues!
Pretty sure I'm the one who said it
You are fine!!!
Land of the Drama Llamas, trust me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I just read that tonight is the earliest sunset of the year! (For the next couple of weeks, sunrise gets later.) So that's nice.

That is nice! Good excuse for a glass of wine at sunset, anyway.
I think I might try to establish taking a little walk at sunrise, even if it is just a few minutes in the parking lot. When it's NOT the middle of winter I can do sunrise on the harbor, which is very pleasant, and if I can establish the habit while it's not so pleasant it should be that much easier to keep it up. Right?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
BS at work. This is the stuff that makes me crazy.
There is a process I do every so often, sometimes multiple times a day. Like today. Today I have done 3 so far, about to do a 4th.
For one of them, I get an email from the ppl at corporate office, that do the rest of the processing, that said "per our policy" this thing you submitted needs to have these 5 things.
Now, never ever have I provided all that they listed. Moreover, what they called My piece is not what it is called on anything I see so I had no idea what they were talking about. Moreover moreover, one of the things they listed is not called what they called it.
Like in the software we use, the piece of info is called X and they said I needed to provide W.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I've been sitting in a lot of training that's abstractly interesting but also makes me feel guilty about my job and this industry. Sometimes selling out to the man is hard. I should just be glad to have a job.
