-I had a job interview last week, and they called me back for a second interview. Since I don't know if they're going to pay me what I want, I tried to get the hiring range out of them. Instead, she explained how the salary range (a $50k spread, mind you) works. I just want to write back and say, "I AM NOT AN IDIOT!" Instead, I guess I'll just play it out and see what happens. Sigh.
- We still have SO MUCH CANDY left from Halloween. We ended up getting like 6 kids all night and had bought 2 bags of candy. I told my husband to put what he wanted in a tupperware container, and I'd bring the rest to work. He grabbed the biggest one we have, and literally filled every square inch of it, then left like 10 pieces for me to bring. I gave him this 8-D , and then dumped some more out and brought it in.
- I went out with non-work friends for the first time in ages on Friday night, and it was so. much. fun. I forgot what it's like to go out and just laugh - everyone here is so angry and bitter all the time, that going out for drinks just turns into giant bitch-fests.
-I realized this morning that all 3 of us kids (whose parents are still together) all married people whose parents are divorced. No real meaning or a-ha moment to it, just an observation that popped into my head -Damn, it was cold this morning! -I get to go out and talk to adults tomorrow night, and I'm sure they'll all think I'm way too chatty -We had family pix done yesterday and the teaser pic of DD makes me smile
It is Tuesday. I keep forgetting to check this board! I don't really have a random but I wanted to contribute.
Oh, I'm excited that we finally locked in a great rate for a refi! 3.375%, no closing costs! I'm *so* excited, this will save us about $180 a month! Since we bought our house 3 years ago, we've refi-ed 3 times and will have dropped our payment by almost $600! How exciting! The payment is still way bigger than I wish it was, but every bit counts.
H is moving offices in 2 weeks, and will now have to pay $150 a month to park in stupid downtown Boston. So with the refi, I guess we break even.
