or i could hire a mediator

I enjoy being a party of one, but there are three times during the year when I think, "You know, it would be helpful to have a boyfriend right about now."

(1) New Year's Eve.

(2) Loading my car at Ikea.

(3) Sorting out a problem with service / repair people.

Mapgirl Dark Secret #89: I hate conflict. Hate it. I'd argue with you more about this point, but I really don't want to get into it.

There does come a point, though, where enough is enough. Or, more accurately, not enough is not enough. I just fired off a disgruntled customer letter and my stomach hurts. Why can't it get done right the first time so I don't have to spend more time and effort getting all agitated? It saps all the goodwill and satisfaction out of the experience. I have to rest now.
