did they make you a counter offer?yeah, we talked about that too
she's gonna run the numbers and come up with one. I told her my bottom dollar for staying and she thinks she can meet that.

Didn't they give you a hard time awhile back where you didn't know if you were going to have a job or not?
I'm good, I was there 36 years, it was time to get out of the truck. Taking the summer off, then look for a part time job.

I never had good luck trying to play both ends. Muscle your current employer and as soon as that other opportunity disappears well.....
Hope they see what they will be loosing
yep.
i gave her a deadline 24 hours before my offer expires. at that time, I will sign and fax the offer letter if she fails.

Never accept a counter offer from your current employer. You might win short term, but you will lose later.
Better to leave and have them rehire you later than to stay for a counter offer.

good advice, but why do you say that?
Congratulations, Chris!
Sounds like a good exit, jaws.

Because they will make you pay for it one way or another. It causes employers to feel like you cornered them and then they later feel like they have already done all they ever will for you and you owe them. It poisons the relationship permanently.

yep, I've left places and got calls begging me to come back, and write my own deal.
u not right
kind of concerning that you're picturing me like that. I know you're all Bruce/Katlyn Jenner like with your car and all but I'm happily married and i have no desire to be your broke back mountain partner

I got vinyl samples from the place you recommended. They had 2 'light parchment'. Both are called 'G' grain.
The Revolution brand one is probably closest in color., kind of feels like soft leather, but very flat/ no sheen. Not looking for much gloss, but what could I use on it to bring it up a little that will stay on, not be slippery...
The other is a little lighter than original an does have some shine, but is more of a plastic feel surface. It is a heavier material.
