Sometimes you just need to scream!!!

Since they are willing to bargain with you, you should have thrown in a demand for a window seat... with a view...

After the **** I went through today, I'll take anything with a dollar sign.

I'll be in the drunk tank to talk about that one in a few hours...

Congrats!!!

It's all good I found out what happened. They sent the HR guy home early yesterday cuz he has pink eye. So he never got my call or email, but he called today and I got more than the original offer so I took it! (No more crapping around!!!)
Beer me!

Congratulations!! :multiplespotting:

Now, let the beer flow....

I drank to your success yesterday - multiple double-cuervo margaritas! :beerchug: I think I recall someone cursing me for diluting a perfectly good tequila with mixer ...

Actually, a friend of mine got this request from a possible new hire that was coming straight out of school... The self-entitlement crowd these days apparently thinks that not only when they graduate that they should get a well paying job, but that is should come with nothing less than a window seat...

In the end the flake turned down the job offer (yeah, they actually gave him a job offer, which pained my friend) so he could be with his girlfriend at the other end of the country and do some retail job while she finishes up her masters...

What's wrong with kids these days?

Especially in this economy. At least I'd been doing well enough to not have to freak out and grab the first thing that floated by butyeah it's ridiculous. My first job out of college I took what they offered me. It was stupid more than I'd ever seen before and they weren't totally going to screw me. In fact, this is the first time I've ever countered an offer. The second job, I gave them a number and they said "I think we can do better than that" and gave me a 27% raise!!!

Now I'm trying to figure out how to not so subtly let them know that I am no kidding using their unemployment benefits for a new laptop- I can just see the steam coming out of poor Bills ears. Maybe a big bumper sticker across the front of it? Then wheel it into their favorite happy hour locale?

*pricks*

You could just send him a very nice thank you card with pictures of your unemployment debit card and your new laptop.

BTW, I'd hold off on buying that MacBook Pro for now. They are very close to releasing some major upgrades to the Apple laptop line. I'm chomping at the bit to buy a new MacBook, but I don't want to get it if there's a new one coming out in the next month.

 

[squishles10]

Woohoo another apple-ite! Yeah I heard that too, but my motherboard fried. It doesn't turn on. If it's out by the end of August I'll be okay but after that I'll just have to get one. :-( Or use the fiance's 7 year old PC tower :-O

Insider info says "imminent release" and "possibly August 4th".

 

[roadwreck]

Woohoo another apple-ite!

bla bla bla...

save yourself some money and buy a PC.

I love my Mac. BTW, if you buy a Mac (computer) and they come out with a new one within 30 days, you can get the new one or get the reduced price of the old one. That happened to us we got our first iBook.
