I had a recruiter who called me yesterday with a position that didn't sound that interesting based on location and I tried to tell him no thanks but he kept pushing. So to end the call I countered his salary requirements and added an extra $30k to it.
He said they couldn't match that salary and I told him that was unfortunate. Call Ended.
Recruiter calls back later in the day as I am heading out and is now willing to meet salary request. I told him to email me details and that I would get back to him.
This morning I have had over 6 calls and various emails from him. This guy just won't take No.

Add another $30k, see how far he'll go.. 
Ah, I see you have the machine that goes ping. This is my favorite. You see we lease it back from the company we sold it to and that way it comes under the monthly current budget and not the capital account.

No, wife and I already agreed that international jobs would have to come from Europe.

 That's about 2500k a month. I would seriously consider it.

Insist on $10K up front, and if he's dumb enough to do it, cash the money, and don't show up.
He might still call you, but it won't be to present you with more offers...

Perhaps because you didn't say "no" - you said "yes for extra $30k"

Ok... money is not all, I understand it, but 30k additional... if it is not in middle of Alaska or in a city where the new flat rent will be 35k additional cost... that's at least a "hmmmm" (thinking) worth.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Working support tickets can be great to learn about how your customers use the products you create. Recently come into a ton of people that are using Easy Capture Manager (when you press print screen in Windows). The problem is that when they use it, they only capture portions of the screen that they consider useful. Often times this is little more than an error dialog. I want the shot of the whole browser. The URL often has help information in it. Other parts of the screen that users don't care about help me troubleshoot. These screen shots are about as good as no screen shots.

Do these images also come embedded in Word documents?

No, but they might as well!

Sounds about as useful as a customer taking a picture of their laptop screen with their mobile phone. From a dodgy angle. In poor lighting conditions.
