I never call in sick, and I'm on time, etc. I do need insurance, however, but that's a good idea too.super deshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04347176046518919059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22117774.post-42605049301173755562008-02-07T21:10:00.000-05:002008-02-07T21:10:00.000-05:00It really sounds like the pharmtechs are in high d...It really sounds like the pharmtechs are in high demand...which means you might be able to leverage several job offers, if you know what I mean.<BR/><BR/>Before you accept the position, apply to the other places closer to you, see what each of them are offering. You might be able to choose amongst several offers to get something close to home with higher pay, better benefits, and maybe even choice of hours? <BR/><BR/>Not that I'm any good at haggling. In fact, I suck at it. I hate having to do it, but you can often get more this way.<BR/><BR/>Someone told me recently that his wife didn't need health insurance from her company (because she gets it through her husband), and could she get a higher salary in place of the health benefit? They told her "sure." Whoa, who knew it was so easy? But the company definitely saves a lot of money this way, especially with the way that health insurance costs are skyrocketing.<BR/><BR/>Hey, good luck! and congratulations! It sounds like a good start.<BR/><BR/>PS That guy at the bank sounds like a real ass. I would have walked out.might I add...?https://www.blogger.com/profile/04494346696236862632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22117774.post-40894792947679115172008-02-05T23:35:00.000-05:002008-02-05T23:35:00.000-05:00Thanks guys!Alex, that cab plan is reasonable too,...Thanks guys!<BR/><BR/>Alex, that cab plan is reasonable too, especially since I'm still astonished at the cheapness of non-NY taxis.super deshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04347176046518919059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22117774.post-46093958746579924862008-02-05T22:57:00.000-05:002008-02-05T22:57:00.000-05:00Yea!

I was telling Suzanne that a friend of my boyfriend in college sat down and calculated the cost of owning a car with insurance, gas and maintenance and the cost of just taking a cab whenever she needed it. The cab was much much cheaper.Alex Elliothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08567976812466320977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22117774.post-41278266211470062442008-02-05T22:23:00.000-05:002008-02-05T22:23:00.000-05:00Pea, so many questions. there are no bike lanes, b...Pea, so many questions. there are no bike lanes, but the roads are super wide. I will wear a helmet. Jason can drive me if it's at night. I haven't found any place with free wifi, that is except the office of the apartment complex (right across the street) which luckily leads into my living room. That's what we've been using.<BR/><BR/>and thanks flutter!

And is it safe enough to bike at night if need be? A girl can't be too careful.<BR/><BR/>Have you found a place with free wifi yet?<BR/><BR/>Good luck with your interview.LittlePeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17890731735785145148noreply@blogger.com
