>(d.) bored and hanging by the computer

But not exactly bored. Actually fretting about a new job interview I went to yesterday morning and wondering if I made a good impression. I put in an App and my resume a month ago, then got a call from them last week, and did the interview yesterday... Nothing I can do now but wait, but I still fret. It's silly I know. They asked me how much I wanted per hour? I always HATE that question. What if I ask for too much? Will that kill the deal? Will they negotiate with me? What if I ask for too little? Will I be screwing myself? Will they readily agree to pay me a low wage? Arrgg... I wish they'd just advertise right at the beginning what the job will pay so their will be no questions.

When we advertise for an apartment for rent, we don't leave the amount per month blank and then when a potential renter calls, ask them how much they want to pay a month do we? NO. We list a rent that we think, thru research is average for the area. If no takers after a few weeks, we lower it a little, like $ 20 a month.... till we find find someone.

So why don't employers do the same? If you've advertised for 6 months and are only offering $ 10 an hour, and no takers, then I think it's time to raise the offered wage until someone is willing to take the job on. DUH. (not the place I applied, just an example)

For this job I asked for $ 18 an hour as the top wage there is $ 25 for long time employees. I know this because I have a friend there. They seemed to think it was a reasonable request, but who knows? IT still bugs me that I have to go thru that. I suppose I suck as a negotiator, LOL. Maybe I should have asked for $ 25?

You could go back in there and tell them that you have changed your mind and that you have decided that you require no less than 25 $ and keep a poker face on and see if they give it to you

Or at bare minimum 23 $

I had an (a) on that afternoon.

My Pisces ex-fwb (not the recent one but the one before him) was planning to come see me that night, I wasn't sure what I wanted since I had igged him the weekend my Pisces ex-bf went MIA on me (Jan 20th). Had I known my ex-bf would do that I would have communicated with the ex-fwb instead I ignored his two texts.

I was hating that for a minute and all of the sudden he calls my cell (guess he wanted to make sure that it wasn't my cell since no response to his texts) we talked for a little bit, he asked to come see me, I told him that I wouldn't be available til later and to call me about 11pm and I went back and forth about answering, but eventually decided I would. He didnt call and Saturday morning I got a text that he fell asleep and was sorry.

So, that's how I was. No V-Day love but the plans for post V-Day were there I just pushed it too far out of the reach of the other party and ended up SOL. This is the second failed attempt to move on from my Pisces ex-bf who dumped me. Perhaps it's not meant to happen this way. 😢

biding my time.....
