Truly, this flashed through my mind.

I applied for a job with an organization in their senior center. My interview went well, and I was excited to see that one of the regular, well-attended programs was knitting and crocheting. Yarnwork with elders! Double Joy!

I got a call back asking if I would consider being considered for a better-paying job with more responsibility that's, frankly, right up my alley, but that would have me working at headquarters and not at the senior center.

The thought "What?! No knitting?! No crocheting?! What kind of bait-and-switch number is this?!" flashed through my mind.

Time to negotiate! Yes, I'll take the higher-level job, as long as I get one day (or half a day) helping in the senior centre, 'to keep in touch with the customers'.
:) Also, congratulations on job!

Thanks!  And the negotiating will be held.
