Grr.
Gah, annoying people who insist on doing followup business over a desk or around a table rather than by email or even a quick phone call.
No, sitting down and providing me with nine zillion details is NOT going to make me change my offer. I happen to be working to a budget. Give me your best counteroffer and I'll give you a yea or nay. I'm only interested in the number. Just. One. Number. It would have taken half a second to tell me the number over the phone. About the same in an email. But nooooo, we gotta sit down face to face and 'discuss' it for half an hour of my life I'm not going to get back.
Keerist, do they really think they're going to be able to change facts just by making a Charisma check?
