Alright, I'm currently learning the joys of job offer negotiation. I have a strong personality and yet I despise confrontation which makes the whole "counter-offer" thing very difficult for me. Getting up the guts to professionally say to a prospective employer, "How much do you pay for mileage?" and "The fact that you do not offer benefits is a problem for me and I would like to talk about renegotiating my salary after a period of 90 days in order to compensate for lack of health insurance" is difficult and almost maddening to me. Will I do it? Absolutely. Do I want to? HELL NO.
I'm frustrated about negotiating and I am frustrated because I am PMSing and everyone and everything is annoying me. Every time I see my roommate in the three days a month I PMS, I want to throw duct tape over her mouth. I feel that for three days, everyone around me should go hide in a closet and ignore me so that I can breathe! How utterly ridiculous, right? Why does PMS exist? It is a hideous syndrome designed to annoy the woman to tears and make everyone else around her want to kill her. I exercise an incredible amount of self-control and self-discipline during these three days just so I won't hurt someone's feelings or make someone upset. In the meantime, I AM NOT HAPPY. Having a drink at 9:00 in the morning in order to balance out your brain is not advisable because that makes you look like a raging alcoholic.
I think I'M the one who needs to be put into a closet for three days so that the world will continue on harmoniously and I will have some sort of peace of mind sitting there in the dark.
I have also decided that there is no set age when your parents cease to tell you what to do. My mother is over 50 and her mother still bosses her around. Shouldn't this be illegal? Shouldn't there be an age when your parents no longer can give their input? Apparently not, and so I am resigned to be 70 years old still getting advice from my 97 year old father and wanting to kill him.
And ALL of these reasons are why I have this anonymous blog, so that I can yap and bitch and complain and comment on the world around me without worrying what anyone else will think, but at the same time I am getting these things out of my system so that they don't bottle up inside me and make me go completely insane.
Now for that drink... |
