Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Hmph.

From way back, thanks for the parenting fist-bumps. Cash, your article was great, though making me realize good sleep is a thing of the past. Argh.

From my research, the standard for "real" movers is 10%. For the ultra-cheap ninja movers that juliana got me, I tipped more just because they were so cheap and so fast.

I'm pretty sure my moving company told me what to tip, and it was 15-20%. But that's NYC. Edit: Maybe it was 10-15%. Whatever it was, it felt like a lot of money! But I was moving into a 4th floor walkup...

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

$100 or so, I would say. Depending on the cost of the move.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

How snazzy would you look, though, Jesse? Especially with a belt with a cool belt buckle?

Let's dress you from now on.

Note to people: solutioning? Not a word.

Quid pro con? Kinda funny, but doesn't exist.

Sending me an invite to a 7am con call when I have an 8-11 onsite meeting? Kinda MEAN. I haven't decided how to handle this yet. Taking it while driving is contra-indicated, natch. Coming in to the office an hour early? Evol.

Today's necklace? So totally goes with my shirt. t / girl moment

When I last moved in 2006, I gave my three movers $20 each, and they were happy with it. The entire cost of the move was about $500, so I wasn't going to give them any more than that!

I'm still traumatized about how much it cost to have long-distance movers. Never again!

I never doubt that all my movers have been worth the time and money.
