what if there was an app that both you and your partner have where you both swipe right or left on movies that are on your streaming services and when you find a match it lets you know

I wish I was better at gardening. I don't have a black thumb, but it ain't exactly green either.

You wanna buy my house? I wish someone would take over sometimes!!! I can show you the ropes! It’s more like controlling chaos most of the time, lol.

Happy Friday all, weekend is here.

Need to rant for a bit. So I had a call with a recruiter earlier today that didn't go as he had planned. He called me out of the blue.

Incoming Wall of Text:

Him: "Hey we have an accountant opening at a local winery, are you interested?"

Me: "Sure, who is it with?"

Him: "It's confidential, you will know if they bring you in to interview."

Me: "Ok, accounting is a pretty broad field, what kind of accounting specifically?"(I don't want to deal with payroll and other boring BS).

Him: "GL stuff, they already have AR/AP folks so it is more advanced accounting."

Me(Trauma from last job): "How many hours a week am I working?, How long have the team members been at this place, CFO, Controller, Accounting Manager?" (I want to know if this place is even financially solvent and what kind of products they make beyond just wine and what the actual brands are)

Him "Very stable. Like 25 years for the CFO".

Me: "Ok, what is the pay?, if it isn't at least $XX an hour I'm not interested."

Him: "Well, they can meet what you are asking but they need someone who is the full package."

Me: "I was a senior analyst for the largest winery on the planet for 5 years. I know the business, finance and accounting inside and out."

Him: "Why did you leave them?"

Me: "I hate Kaliforniastan and wanted to move to Arizona."

Me: "The median price of homes in this area is $700k, I'm not interested in a salary $xx over what In & Out burger is paying."

Conversation devolved from there. Ended with "I'll present your info to the client and let you know if they are interested". I doubt I get presented given my tone but we'll see.

Rant:

Employers are on crack. They demand these crazy credentials, background and experience. Then when they have candidates who actually have that, they want to pay them with the lint in their pockets...

Then they piss and moan about the fact that there aren't any good people to hire...

I'm sorry but you get what you pay for. Want amazing people, don't be an organization that is constantly turning and burning staff, pay the market rate and give people some flexibility to live their lives. You want me to live in the office, tell me that and I can decide if you are offering live in the office pay, don't couch it in corporate buzzwords and bullshit.

Worthwhile rant. And accurate. It's important to know your worth.
