I should tip for furniture delivery, yes? How much?

I'm wondering the same, re: the bed I'm allegedly getting on Saturday. Likewise with movers.

Well, I just passed my first Stanford class. I probably could have gotten a better grade if I hadn't just rushed through the final exam, but whatever. I'm going to Australia tomorrow.

Anyone still watching Grey's Anatomy? The Denny's clinic has still been open this whole time? With all the changes to the hospital just waiting to be needed for the plot?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Y'all, I think maybe this election cycle is having a negative effect on my mental health. I've been super depressed even for me, the last couple weeks. I'm barely functioning right now. I usually feel like PTSD triggers are for other people but. Maybe I'm a regular human in that respect after all.

Either that or I don't know what the hell is happening.

re: tipping--I just did some Googling, and for furniture delivery it's ranging from "they don't expect it" to "tip them if it's heavy or awkward."

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'm sorry, Zen. I know the election has made my depression and anxiety worse, although I've been feeling better since Hilary's polls have improved.

But four weeks seems like way too much time to have to deal with this anxiety. I would like it to be November 9th, please.

I'm pretty sure that's actually a thing right now.

Yup.

Our wings are not tired.

I haven't been depressed about the eventual outcome of the election because I have always believed my girl would win. What has been really hard on me is to figure out a way to deal with the otherwise sane family and friends that support Trump. I just can't look at them the same way, and that makes me sad.

Yeah, Laura. I felt physically sick today just seeing Trump bumper stickers and yard signs. I try to avoid the subject with family.
