Editor's note: I wrote this weeks ago. I'm so over the situation like you would not believe but who am I to let a great mix go to waste?!
Oh, how easy it is to play the martyr. And no matter how many of my friends proofread the scant words I've written on my emotional well being as of late, I can't help but feel like I'm dragging the other party through the mud. I realize I'm not. If anything, I'm being all too cordial about the situation becuase no matter what way you slice it, I didn't only expect more respect but I deserved it. And at 26, I'm sort of at the "all or nothing" phase of my life where I deem people worth my time completely or not worth it all. Casual dating? That ain't me, babe. But neither is cruelty where it isn't deserved. So, as there are two sides to every story, I did my best to attepmt to, in twelve songs or less, tell ya'll what the proverbial "he" might be feeling right now. Did I hit the nail on the head? Well, in the words of Brand New front man Jesse Lacey, "you won't know". None of us will. He doesn't come around this way anymore. (Editor's note: Overdramatic even for me! Ah, man. Heartache is so funny in retrospect!)
So this is best effort to encapsulate what exactly he may have been thinking when he let a catch like this go. (No, seriously, I'm a catch you guys! I mean... That's what my step mom keeps telling me!)

Also, be sure to grab Shani's "Boost Amber's Morale" mix called Break Up, Drink Up.
As for what's left...

If maids are making $80 - $100K a year in NYC, there must be HUGE pressure by management to reduce headcount and get the number of rooms cleaned per maid up.
With costs like that, robotic maid service isn't a bad idea. Or grab a roomba and turn it loose while the maid is taking care of the other tasks.
