Wow, you've got a lot going on there! Congratulations on the job and on the 100%!! You're pretty amazing. Jenn for president, I say ... oh wait a minute we don't have a president do we? Clearly not scoring 100% here. The wedding's in September???? Well, excessive planning is over-rated anyways. It's great that someone's helping you out, though. I wonder how many jobs you'll have by the end of the week...
I think this entry might make me explode with excitement!
Excellent news! September! That's right close!
Is it super-weird that I am really jealous of your friend who gets to be your wedding planner?
Singing, "Jenn's getting married, Jenn's getting married" Do you think people will get tired of my song before September? Hmmmm I'll add a line, "Jenn and Jim are getting married." Yup, that's better.
Good grief! You have so much on your plate. Congrats about job one, though. That rocks hard! Yeah!
Dear zooey, I think you are right on a number of levels. The one job didn't work for that as I felt it was too clear at the interview that I needed to be available for a specific time - it was a 3mos contract. So I think that one just would have been too much for me to try and wiggle with in this way.
But the other job I'm looking at might work with this plan of yours. And I think this is something - in general - I need to work at more in the future. Something about not being quite so nice, or something. I'm not sure what it is exactly, and I know it isn't about me becoming an ass, but something about valuing (valueing?) myself enough to do some of these more 'ballsy' moves. Yeah, getting a bit more of Jim's american-ness with these negotiations. I think this is something I would be well seved by in the future. Little less polite canadian girl.
Not unethical, but maybe a bit more aggressive.
Thanks! You can rant here any time.
Dear annika - if I were getting married in your town/country, I'd totally want you to be my wedding planner!
