The real negatiation is persuading them that they should hire me in the

Or until they fire me, more like. ;-)

It'll be nice if I can actually get this job. (From what I've read so

actually *doing* some work. Rather than, say, lurking on 
povray.off-topic, surfing Wikipedia, or implementing fractal image
