I had a cheeseburger for lunch yesterday so I opted for seafood tonight. I think I'm going to get death by chocolate for desert now.
When we landed here you said you needed a few days to get space worthy again and is there somethin' wrong with your bunk?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Happy birthday, erika!
Agent dug my pitch
That's great!
Good luck to you in finding a workable solution, Kat. I'm sorry the childcare didn't work out.
I will strike up a casual conversation with almost anyone as long as they don't seem like they're going to try and continue the relationship. On the other hand, sometimes, I suspect I'm closed off to the point of being rude. I don't mean to be rude; I'm really just shy. Except when I'm totally not.
Or, what juliana said.
I love staying in hotels. Room service, clean sheets and towels and bathroom that I didn't have to clean myself, and a lock on the door. I love traveling, too. I'd love it more if I could learn to pack less stuff.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I can talk to strangers pretty easily. But being introverted, it takes an effort. Often I decide it's not worth the effort.

OK, help me out with how to not sound like a jackass:
The company is paying for my move: the packing, shipment, and delivery of my stuff.
But I want to store it for a month. Fine, but I have to pay for it. I'm told the cost involves (approximately) $250 for "delivery into the vault", a certain amount per day, and then $800 for "load from vault and delivery to residence"
Now, my thought is, if I WEREN'T sending it to storage, the delivery would be covered. So I want to ask if they're calculating that correctly, or if they're accidentally charging me for a delivery fee that should be covered.
On the other hand, it's possible the first one is cheap not because they can quick offload into a storage unit, but because some portion is covered.
How do I ask about this without sounding like a bitch? I don't want to piss people off, but I'm not good with wording like that. And I know the buffistas are.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ha ha -- guess what I'm doing right now? If you guessed "rebooting my cable box, like I've had to do every day since I got it last week," you're right! I hate this fucking thing. Tonight's good times is suddenly no channels at all. The next time I'm in town over the weekend, I might just bring it back, because this is BULLSHIT. And it takes like five minutes to reboot.

Online couple cheated with each other
A married couple who didn't realise they were chatting each other up on the internet are divorcing.
Sana Klaric and husband Adnan, who used the names "Sweetie" and "Prince of Joy" in an online chatroom, spent hours telling each other about their marriage troubles, Metro.co.uk reported.
The truth emerged when the two turned up for a date. Now the pair, from Zenica in central Bosnia, are divorcing after accusing each other of being unfaithful.
"I was suddenly in love. It was amazing. We seemed to be stuck in the same kind of miserable marriage. How right that turned out to be," Sana, 27, said.
Adnan, 32, said: "I still find it hard to believe that Sweetie, who wrote such wonderful things, is actually the same woman I married and who has not said a nice word to me for years".

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Now I feel bad for giving bad advice.

Is it possible the second figure is higher because it's a) harder to deliver to a residence and b) includes the month rental for the storage unit?

harder to deliver to a residence
Yeah, I'm pretty sure you pay more just for that.

Oh, the month rental is a separate (daily) fee, which I'm fine with (even if it's fairly expensive, as storage spaces go). And my point is, the delivery to residence should be included in the "moving from point A (DC) to point B (seattle)" cost, no? (Granted, the "loading back into a van to deliver it" I would expect to cost additional. But it was noted as being loading AND delivery, so...I suspect they're adding funny)
