Inspiring
The following old story of discussing wages for a new hire are inspiring, now that I'm looking for a job:
It wasn't just Seth Johnson's wages that really shed some light on Peter Ridsdale's time in charge of Leeds. It was bill for the goldfish. Johnson joined from Derby County in 2001. The midfielder had earned a basic wage of around £5,000 a week at Derby and his agent was determined to winkle £13,000 from the then Leeds chairman.
Ridsdale, though, had other ideas. Entering the negotiating room he is said to have declared: "Right I'm sorry, I can only offer you £30,000 a week." Sizing up the situation with commendable speed, the agent shook his head in apparent disbelief and said: "No".
Ridsdale allegedly responded by saying "Oh, alright then, £37,000." However, Risdale denies this and subsequently said: "We gave Seth Johnson £10,000 less than has been rumoured."

In other news the weather has been awesome, and I love my patio and the free time to hang out on it.
