Hi Everyone. Quick update before we head out of town to McCall for the weekend.
They extended me an official offer! Their initial offer was a little low salary wise, so I countered and asked for a little bit more and they gladly met my requirements. (I agonized over actually sending it, but it worked out.)
All I have left to do is to officially sign it and set up a start date. That will be done on Monday.
I can finally exhale and relax. It’s been a LONG time coming.
Thanks again to all of your for your well wishes over the past month. It is ALL worthwhile.
More on Monday. Hope you enjoy your weekend as much as I will.
That is great. I am happy for you. Glad you did a bit of negotiating and got close to your price.
Have a great weekend.

Congrats J!!! I knew it would go your way, being the champ that you are…hey that’s the Anti-spam word that I had to enter in to post this message! Coincidence? Perhaps…but nonetheless, I hope you have a wonderful weekend…and good luck negotiating that ‘other thing’ that we talked about.

I agree with Jess that “everything happens for a reason”…and you ARE the reason this job offer happened. Congrats. I wish you all the best.

Good for you. Some times good guys do catch a brake.
I also went back and read your “robbed” comments and I would say this. CRY BABY!!! Who cares if it takes 1 hour or six hours, if you’re happy with the cleaning pay the freakin price: “Says the man that will die pennyless”
