Our wings are not tired.

JZ, I would tip if you feel the service deserved it. I would likely decide in the moment.

sarameg, my guess is that he adores you because you communicate with him on a level that others don't. Pick your battles. But keep communication open as it is likely valuable for him.

hip deep in pie

I don't think I've ever tipped the furniture delivery guy.

Yeah, I plan to. Just finding a bunch of butthurt IMs, realizing I gotta send a careful clarification...it's tiring. His partner has my respect. I suspect her esl status helps, she's always asking him to rephrase, to say what he means. Her patience must come from when she was much less fluent (she's pretty cautious around new people in social situations, and yet she's a restaurant mgr in a fancy pants place, so communication isn't a core issue.)

um east coast? GO TO BED OR AT LEAST GET OFFA YOUR COMPUTER.

Noooooooo.

Actually, literally no, because I have work to do still. Freelancing time-management fail.

If I'm getting up at 5:30, got at least 2 more hrs.

I t heart msbelle.

I don't think I have ever tipped furniture delivery guys, unless DH did for me. Do not know the protocol. Mostly pick up my furniture myself or assemble it, though.

Sounds like maybe the infamous tone on the internet problem rearing its ugly head, sarameg. Hope navigating is not too fraught.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Now that I have young kids, I feel like if I didn't have them I would just sleep all the time, like at least 10 hours a night, plus naps. Sleeeeeep. I wants it.

That's how I feel about having a job.
