Are you?
Would you rather give me some kind of performance review first? Opportunities for improvement?

[louds]

I think you should buy me less gifts, but I understand you can't help it.

[mcferrin]

Yeah I'm sorry, I simply don't understand this request. Do you have any more reasonable feedback?

[louds]

Sometimes you load the dishwasher in a way I don't like, but I think I'm being picky so I just fix it the next time I put dishes in.

Honestly, if I had to give you a performance review it would be very complimentary.

Do I get notes?

[mcferrin]

????? How do you do it?

Also are you going to say that and then not give me the compliments?

I wish you would let me help you more.

[louds]

It's not wrong I guess but you put the mugs on the wrong side, I like them on the left. I told you it was picky.

They're strictly between me and the hypothetical review form. Very confidential. But if I was going to tell you, I would probably start with how thoughtful you are. I don't think you even realize it half the time.

With the dishwasher?

[mcferrin]

Oh. I'll just put them on the left then.

But thank you. I guess? [ being called thoughtful does nothing for his ego which seems unfair as far as compliments go. ]

You know I don't mean just with the dishwasher. Although it is a prime example.

[louds]

I know. I am trying, I'm just
used to doing things a certain way. I'm actually not that great at change, shocker I know.
But I like what we have, and I want it to work for both of us.

Would you be happier if I told you I like what you've done with your hair today?

[mcferrin]

I like it too. I think- I don't tell you enough how important you are to me. It's only that I... feel like more of myself having met you, and I couldn't do any of this without you, and I'm more impressed by you every day. I hope you already know, but I should say it.

Also yes, I would. Thank you.

[louds]

I like what you do with your hair most days, even if I don't tell you. Especially when I don't tell you.
I like who I am with you, too. I like what we've done with this space. I like the parts of the rooms that remind me of you. I didn't think that would happen. I always liked my space.

Do you want to change anything?
