OK, that sounds pretty scary.
If you say a number that's too high, they'll do "damn, we're not paying

be all like "haha, this guy doesn't have a clue!"

Uh-huh. And they're not going to check this and find out I'm blatently
lying?
Besides, do I really want to work for somebody where I have to lie to
get what I desurve?
OOC... I run a small computer network, and I write technical documents.
What do you estimate I *should* be being paid for that?
