We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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.

What's the alternative? I mean, other than not moving long-distance, which, duh. Never not an alternative.
