Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Yikes with the drama llama work stuff!
The problem with getting to the office so early is that I am already starving. I think I need a snack because I'm starting to get cranky and growl at my inbox.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm not really afraid of asking but I don't want to price myself out too early. I'd actually be willing to take less than I make now, if I thought the position was worth it. But I don't want to undersell myself either.
In a letter, I've said something like, "I'm interested in a salary in the range of X-Y, but am glad to discuss in more detail." You can put X close to your current salary, if you'd be willing. Or honestly, just skip it!
I'm having tortellini from Panera for lunch, and I'm a little afraid it's not going to be satisfying, even though it's got plenty of calories! Hmph.

I have been ravenous all morning and exercising my willpower to avoid eating lunch way too soon.

Now I feel overly full, so I guess it was plenty!

Aaaaand now I can't get lunch at noon because they need me to join a meeting. Edit: The worst part about this meeting is that I'm 99.99% certain they need to be talking to someone else.
I thought I would make it through today without threatening to cut someone, but I see that was foolhardy.

FYI, writing someone's review is almost as painful as writing your own.

That's what I was thinking the best approach would be.

The only risk is underselling yourself, if they have the position budgeted higher. (And on second thought I would use "and" instead of "but." Always and!)
