Thanks, job! Yep! She went with purple smile. She wears them for 2 more years....ugh. Hopefully it will keep the boys away. Yeah. Wishful, I know.

I had a great conversation with the hiring manager today. She was concerned about the salary being lower than what I've been making. It wasn't even that much lower.

I shot her straight, which I tend to do...I don't play the game well. She seemed to appreciate that.

I told her what I made starting at my last place, and what I ended at. The offer would be where I started my last job. I told her that I was still interested. The location and job details (can do with eyes closed) are promising. If the benefits and people make for a good balance, the salary number isn't as important to me.

My ends need to meet at the end of the month.
I need to be in a positive environment close to my kids.

That's pretty much it. I'm a simple gal.
