| So much for 3 nights away! |
| 05.30.07 (11:50 pm) [edit] |

With all my appointments after work, I figured it would be more convenient to stay at his place for a few nights. But I have returned home two nights in a row! BOOOOO! Last night, I forgot to grab some shorts so I'd have no bottoms to wear to work. There was no choice but to come home! And tonight! Well, it is for a good reason, I guess. I had to come home to send off some writing samples to the company I had an interview with. They also asked me for references!! After work, I was hoping to have received an email saying I didn't have to email them anything because they still had the original CD of writing samples I gave them. Alas, I had to do the right thing and send off an e-mail. Hopefully, things will be wrapped up by next week, and I will have a job offer!!!! (I've already been planning in my head about a resignation letter and when I would want to start the new job...) Technically, my contract with my current job didn't say anything about giving notice...But I would give them plenty since I have my vacation coming up soon. I'd come back from vacation and work for a week? One thing that will be very important for me this time is not start the job during the mercury retrograde. I am not making that mistake again! So ultimately, I'd like to start after July 9, which would likely be okay with them since they're not in a huge rush. But I'd also like to attend their quarterly company meeting on the 4th. I guess we shall see how this pans out. One thing, though...they had asked me what kind of salary I was looking for even before I officially applied, and I was asking for about 17% more than what they were looking to spend, and that would give me an 11% raise from what I am making now (and bring me to the average of someone with my years of experience). I think I would be fine if what they offered me was close to what I am already making since I am dying to get out of the current hellhole. There will be no tears or sadness when it comes time to give my notice...whenever that may be, but I really, really hoping it will be VERY SOON! |

I figure if you go into work without any bottoms on, they'll probably let you go...

No bottoms for work? I fail to see the problem. ;-)

I wonder if they'd call the police if I refused to put on bottoms...or pay me to leave...

It would be okay if I didn't wear bottoms...but everyone else?? I don't know...I don't want to see any stains!

Or maybe they'd give you a raise! ;)

*L* I'd probably consider it for a second, and then remember how badly I want to get out of this hell hole!

If they doubled your salary...?

*L* no...which is also why I am hoping this next place, if they formally offer the job, won't offer less than what I am already making.

Maybe you should interview bottomless but with high-heels?

A tight white shirt with no bra?

I've always loved planning resignation letters myself. I think it's a good thing to give at least a week's notice, but maybe more if possible. It makes future employers a little less nervous about your tendency to leave them in the lurch. Final advice: never take less.
Of course, I work in Crazy Land, so who am I to say? Keeping fingers crossed.
