OT: Off-Topic Thread - Airing of Grievances

[LouJersey]

Of course I didn't accept on the spot. What am I, a rookie?

And I don't need to talk to my spouse. I need the opportunity to look over the full package being offered.

Duh.

Lonnie saves a step and generally looks at the full package during the interview.

I admit it. I LOL'ed IRL.

Routine interview questions I have for any company are usually centered around the dress code. Like do I have to wear pants at all times? Are shirts mandatory? Stuff like that.

I'm surprised you don't get into HR, like Kate. You know, where you can make the policies on shirts and pants. Or the lack thereof.

....I got the job

Of course you don't need to talk to Joe. That's just the excuse as to why you don't accept on the spot. lol

Also, always counter. Never accept the offer as is without at least trying to squeeze more out of them...

I know what you meant. But my excuse is I need time to consider the full package being offered, not that I need to talk to my husband.

I just read a post of yours about the Vikings and connected that to your username.

WBC8 !!

I'm a clueless dolt.

You're not alone, Ron. There are a few people who've changed usernames recently and I literally have no clue if I know them from before or not.

Get down with your feminist self!!

I felt weird changing my user name, but I like this one and am not planning on changing it any time soon. (or at all!)

Congrats Kate !

I tend to be on the side of the world is safer and more transparent before. The news recently has shed light on how much was swept under the rug in the very recent past.

My biggest fears for my kids are them getting hit by or in car accidents. We chose to live in a place where they can walk to everything but that doesn't stop the first issue. Better bike infrastructure will go a long way

cute

our boy, who seemed to be rebounding nicely is unfortunately and sadly going to be laid to rest tomorrow, these pets are heartbreakers, we`ve had ours almost 15 years.

Great run, hope we provided for him half as much as he did for us

Awwww. So sorry! What kind of dog? 15 years is a good long life, but it's never long enough.

So sorry to hear Andrew. I second the notion that pets are family. Sometimes better family than their human counterparts. Thoughts are with you.

Thank you to everyone for their support. That gorgeous Beagle in the picture struggled into the early morning to the point we couldn`t allow for it any longer. We took him to the 24 hr Vet and put him out of pain. Scottie tissues are going to make a load of money off our tears.

This one will take alot of time to recover from but we know in our hearts we gave him everything a dog requires and yet.....it was never as much as what he did for us. Again, thank you everyone for their kind words of support and thoughts

Sending you warm love, friend. You must be devastated. Holding the space for Mr. Beagle's transition.

Here's what is hopefully only part 1 of my interview with Isaac Hempstead Wright who plays Bran.

The Bran Theory That Isaac Hempstead Wright Is Rooting for in GAME OF THRONES’ | Nerdist

If you want even more (and what I think is even better stuff) please share it and get as many eyes on it as possible.

My kids are posting this on their social media so that should get a couple thousand pairs of eyes on it. Anyone else with kids should do the same.

I would think that most couples would consult one another on career moves, whether or not they “had to”? Seems like a good thing to do if you want to stay married

Ideally, you keep your spouse in the know, so that when you do get an offer, the benefits are the only thing that need to be weighed. Also, if this isn’t the offering parties first rodeo, aren’t they going to expect you to “mull it over”?

As usual, Lonnie is just trying to cause trouble (the fourth constant in life after death, taxes, and the noise outside being Lonnie peeping through your window).
