It worked!!!!

Or, at least it seems to have worked. :) I got another call today from the job in Baltimore, this time from my potential boss. I won't go into all the details of the conversation, but it was all good. :) They really want to hire me, and made a better offer. It still wasn't quite what I wanted, so I countered with a little bit higher. And he actually said he would try to get it!!!! I was so excited that I seriously think my head was about to explode! I have never done any real negotiating, and was sick just thinking about it, but it looks like it will pay off for me this time! Nothing is official yet, but I am about 99% certain that I will accept whatever they come back with. So, Baltimore, HERE I COME! :)
