Was I too brash?

Question

I filled out the paperwork for my research job to start getting paid but the lady forget to ask my boss about my wage. I told the lady that I used to do this kind of work and started at 8.50/hr and would like to make 9.00/hr because I have experience doing this kind of work. I also said that I don't want to seem too demanding...
She kind of looked at me weird. Should I not have said anything? I just don't want a wage of 7.00/hr when it is more rigorous research work that my previous job.
btw, I am an undergrad.

Answer 1

You probably should have waited to see what it was before arguing for more.
