smell that chicken!!!! *E Plan A
so… it looks like new job wants to see the counter in writing. so far, it’s all been verbal and I’m not sure Baboo can get anything written unless he’s going to sign a contract.
With that said, his retainer with his current job would be a nice bit of money (though he’d be working every weekend for at least 2 months, which sucks a giant ASS, but I agreed to it so far… blaaaaah) and we could save it up while it lasted and be ok.
We already have a budget planned on his soon to be new salary, so we’ll be ok. More money is always alluring, but he won’t put it into writing as far as I can tell, so… yeah.
So Baboo is now thinking he’ll see if he can just retain the first offer and not worry with negotiating anything else. Which means he’ll take the new job in about a week and we’ll be back on the track we were originally on.
JEESH.
We’re going to talk about it this afternoon.
It’ll be nice to not thinking about it anymore. My stomach is a wreck.
I did have a delcious bad lunch (i ate 8 french fries! counting them out was so hard!!!!) with some fried chicken strips nom nom nom. I have some left over and the smell is KILLING ME. I want to eat them NOW, but I know I shouldn’t! arrrrrgh!
Did I mention the whole wheat fettucine at Macaroni Grill was fabulous? it was.
I’m still swooning.
I wish I could feel Nugget moving more. MOVE NUGGET MOVE! CALM YOUR MOTHERS PARANOIA.
Anwyay, i can’t stop smelling chicken and I might lose my mind.
Or what is left of it.
Lets hope we get job resolution tonight and move on to house resolution.
He keeps showing me GIANT houses in Simi Valley.
GIANT.
with DUAL SHOWER HEAD SHOWERS and MASSIVE SUB ZERO REFRIGERATORS THAT LOOK THE SIZE OF A BEDROOM AND GRANITE COUNTERTOPS, only a little over our price range.
I wish he would cut that shit out. He knows I’m a sucker for a giant kitchen and a luxurious bathroom.
anything is better than what we have now.
Le sigh.
*Edit: Back to plan A!
He called new job back, said he couldn’t get it in writing and he wants to go back to the original terms. They said if he does get something inw riting to submit it to them and they’ll see what they can do.
But for now, he’s taking the new job (I FEEL SO MUCH BETTER WITH HIM DOING THIS!) and staying on retainer with old job and getting 900 – 1200 for that retainer per month. So it all works out.
Now for this em effing house.
Oh yeah, I have a ticker. Look at that!

In my opinion, I would want it in writing for myself BEFORE signing a contract anyways just in case any funny business goes down. I hope it works out for the best either way!

Only 8 fries? At least you got some fraahd chick’n.

re: I didn’t even think of that, but it completely makes sense. Kids like that must be hardwired to snap under pressure. It’s sad all around, really. And YAY for Plan A! I was hoping he’d stay with the new job, too.

awesome, it’s great to have the most important piece of the puzzle in place. good luck on the house.
Warning Comment
Phew! I know how relieved you must be just to have it settled either way.

I would have freaked the hell out by now if I were you. But it looks as if things are back on track – I bet you hear about the house soon and it will be yours! RYN: Dude. Totally. And I demand tons of Almond Joy and a gallon of Dr. Pepper. Because that is all I really want and well, obviously can’t have it. Or survive on it. I guess I could bath in it.

Yay!!!!

That makes the most sense. I’m so glad Baboo is going with the new job. I really think it will open up so many doors for him. I can’t help but feel that his current boss would have delnegged on things or tried to write them into the contract really weird. The retainer is actually a really good idea and will allow you guys to be in a good spot financially when you do move and what not. Anyway you can just call the house place and maybe ask if they need any further information or if they’ve possibly made a decision? Sucks that you are waiting so long.

Yay, you finally heard back on something! At least you can relax a little more then you were. Oh I’m not sure if you allowed to have this but, I found that using Strawberry yogurt (which you can get with a sweetener instead of sugar) and red delicious apples are AMAZING. Just thought I’d pass it along.

Glad to hear it’s getting resolved. Nothing more unnerving than having a plan in motion and then Plan B throws it off the track.
