I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Best wishes for your mom, Scrappy.
Oy, flea.
My collarbone feels bruised and looks kinda swollen. Can't figure out what could cause that, would not be an easy spot to accidentally bang into something and not notice.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Mom~ma for Scrappy and family.
Congrats, Jesse!

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
~ma to your mom, Scrappy. I hope that they will be able to manage any pain she might have.
Congratulations, Jesse!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So the salary they offered (after I asked for more) is what I started at at my current job three years ago. It's definitely plenty for me, and the benefits are good (the big financial ones are an additional week of vacation and 10% of salary contributed to retirement plan). And I hate my current job. It's not crazy to take a step back in salary, right?

Jesse, I'd ask how much your share of health coverage is. What are your employer's current contribution to your retirement plan? Are there any other perqs--mass transit subsidy, snacks in the office, etc.?
Don't forget there's a monetary value to not hating your job too!
Taking a step back shouldn't mean anything to someone at your level at this point. Companies shouldn't be asking for salary history anyway.
