Woke up an hour early today. Not because I wanted to. Last day/night of being on call.

Bert is an obvious train wreck.

This post is for casual conversation if you don’t feel like making a post office your own.

In that case, I'd say you two need to talk. You gotta tell her how you feel, how you'd like things to change, and listen to her. No relationship survives a lack of effective communication. Good luck, I hope it works out.
