I'm so happy for you. I'm coming into town this weekend so let me know if you're going out to celebrate at all.
To make it extra MM, you can cut your commuting costs to $15/month if you end up having to take the bus to the location
Thanks! I'm not sure what the plan is this weekend, but we should get together!
I'm excited about the commuting costs I may have to pick your brain about biking to work too. I don't think I'll be driving - the commuter lot that new employees park at is 2 miles away and you have to take a bus (or walk) from there to the building. I'm in the MERF if that helps with the picture. I think I live less than 3 miles away, so it makes no sense to me to do that. I'm going to do bus/bike I think. But won't my hair be a mess? lol.

I'll have to PM you a bunch of stuff when I have time later. I used to work across the street from MERF so I've got getting there down. When I biked I always just put my hair in a ponytail or bun for the day because I usually didn't have to be super dressed up.
Ahhh.... no. I honestly think what they offered is fair. It's toward the high end of the median for the pay grade. I did negotiate (if you can call it that) to start 2 days earlier, so I get benefits on April 1st (they wanted me to start April 1st, which would have meant benefits starting May 1st). But pay is fine and the benefits are awesome.
Hopefully next time I am looking for a job, I'll feel like I have more leverage
I haven't found that there is much room for negotiating in this type of environment, so I think you did great.
That's fabulous! I came in here to check on this today.
When are you going to tell the temp job?
Thanks!
I actually told them today. I'm out for 3 days in the next 2 weeks, so today was my "10 working days" notice and maybe will give them time to find someone else. Maybe. My manager asked me to wait to tell my coworkers until he gets some ducks in a row, so I guess it's still technically kind of in process?
