Negotiations?

I was reading this job salary negotiation article on Yahoo and I found this line interesting: (link)

Talking about money during the hiring process should feel nothing like being a contestant on a nerve-wracking game show. Job candidates who prepare before the interview and adhere to some specific principles during the negotiation will eliminate much of the guesswork in the equation.

It’s funny.. for me.. I hate asking for money. (I feel like I am being cheap and so low class).. I got to the point where salary is not a problem. I just accept whatever. It don’t matter. It’s the whole package, work environment, co-workers, supervisors, people! That’s what is more important. It’s not how much money you get, it’s how you feel going to work.

So they had the salary calculator.. wooow.. fun!! So I didn’t know which city to pick.. so I picked my old home town of Chattanooga, TN. I picked Graphical User Interface (GUI) designer level 3! I was thinking it is realistic enough to what I do! So the average salary is.. (drum rolls please).. $76,935 a year! Should I move back? lool NO! but I just thought it was a little bit off and too unrealistic.. It’s quite fun though..I wonder if I was getting paid that much what I would do with all that loot.. I think I would buy a boat.. I was thinking of getting a mini little boat.. I love water and I want a boat!

I want boat!! give me boat.. muwahahaha..
