From my Bonnie:
30 skills every woman should know before she turns 30
1. Hard boil an egg  
2. Diplomatically tell Mom to butt-out 
3. Ace a job interview 
4. Ask a man out 
5. Send a thoughtful thank you note 
6. Listen to a friend in need 
7. Ask for help 
8. Effectively end an unhealthy relationship (romantic or platonic in nature) 
9. Beautifully wrap a gift 
10. Say “no” gracefully 
11. Whip up a great dinner with the five items in her fridge 
12. Forget pleasing him, by 30 a woman should be able to tell her man exactly how to please her 
13. Sew a button 
14. Mix a kick-ass cocktail 
15. Take off her bra without removing her shirt 
16. Apply lip gloss in the dark 
17. Balance her checkbook 
18. Create a budget 
19. Find the best deal 
20. Negotiate a salary and/or pay raise 
21. Read a map 
22. Hail a cab 
23. Say something in French just for the hell of it 
24. Apologize when she’s wrong 
25. Dress for her body type 
26. Change a flat (or know whom to call to come change it) 
27. Spot a fake (handbag, diamond, potential friend…) 
28. Feign interest 
29. Know what to tip on a $25 dinner bill 
30. Hold a baby (Hey, someone you know is bound to have one sooner or later) 
Except for #20, I'm good.  I've never worked at a place where I was able to negotiate anything.  I consider that a good thing.
 
 
 
Awesome!!
