me:
Natalie, you really need to start letting people to help you.
also me:
I would if every time I did, they weren’t unreliable or incompetent.
me:
Well maybe if you weren’t such a damn perfectionist people could live up to your standards.
also me:
Oh please, it’s not about perfectionism. Things are only done if they are done correctly, otherwise they are *not* done. It’s just easier if I do it because then guaranteed, it will be done.
me:
HA! Easier? Easier? You work seven days a week, but you’ll spend half a day rotating your tires when you could pay someone $25 to do it.
also me:
Exactly, why pay someone to do something I can do myself?
me:
Because you aren’t fucking poor anymore Natalie, you can afford it.
also me:
Yeah, for now. What if I spend all my money on people doing shit I could do myself and the economy takes a turn again or there’s an emergency and I have no money. There’s no such thing as financial security in Capitalism you know that shit.
me:
God FINE, be miserable. Enjoy your bullshit independence. Let’s never sleep again. Let’s just spend all day working on a car with 250,000 miles on it instead of taking up one of the six offers you got to borrow a car. Let’s live that way you weirdo. Great fucking plan.
