Updates Below!
This morning I sent in my “thanks but no thanks” email to the Cutie Pie Company. It was a thoughtful email thanking them for how much time they’ve put into interviewing me and making sure I was a good fit, but I explained that the job has to be a good fit for me as well.
Now, the young owner has come back with a reply asking me if I would have another conversation with her about how much I REALLY want, and I’m just like uggghhhhhh. I don’t want to have another conversation! I really don’t. I’ve kind of talked myself out of the whole deal (with your helpful thoughts, I might add), and now I just want to move on.
Because I think she’d now have to come up a WHOLE LOT and even then, I don’t know if I want to work in a mean girl company! Do I talk? What if she offers me the $15k that was the bottom of my acceptance? Is she calling my bluff?
Sigh,

Update: I just wrote Cutie Pie CEO back and told her I would be available to have another conversation on Friday (she wanted to talk today, but I am just not up for it and fuck it, I don’t have to, ya know?). If she says she’s good to talk on Friday, I’ll be in a better headspace for stating my case. If she can’t wait (and I understand if she can’t), no loss for me - I’ve already turned the job down! I’m not trying to make it messy or draw it out, but making her wait might be the end of it.
I do have another interview with the president of another company on Friday morning at 8am, so I know I’ll be in that headspace and I want to talk with him first anyway and THEN see what she has to say. And I’ll have all of my stuff written out and ready.
Is this exciting or is it excruciating? I’m just not sure!
