My old manager at the wine store called me today. She's desperate for someone and she can't find anyone qualified. I wasn't too interested in coming back, because I didn't think the job conditions that made me leave would be any different the second time around.
So I made some outrageous demands, thinking that if she said no, who cares? I didn't need the job and didn't want the job unless she sweetened the pot.
She just talked to the district manager and they said yes to every ridiculous thing I asked for. I get all weekday shifts, no evenings or weekends, a huge raise, guaranteed days off, and an extra week of vacation a year.
And I get a free case of wine as a hiring bonus. My username shall once again be appropriate.

WOW! They MUST have needed you! Gotta love negotiating when they're over a barrel.
