Dear Control Freak Partner:

I really would like a life. I mean, I know you need an SUV larger than the very large one you just bought, and that your upcoming 5000 square foot house is a necessity, and you've told me that you're paid based on how much you get me to work, but I'd like a life. I'm sick - so I worked 12 hours yesterday. I'm sure you're gonna scream when you find out I stayed home sick today - never mind the fact that I *still* did work. I'd like a weekend. I'd like to get home at a decent hour, instead of your deciding at 5pm that I'm staying in the office until 10pm for no good reason. I'd like to not be required to bill 200 hours per month. I'd like to be able to *ride* my bike - I don't want your advice on how to get a 20 minute high efficiency workout in at the gym. It's not what I want. My family would like to see me. I'd like to actually have time to clean my house before I move. You'd think you might have learned your lesson screaming at me last week when my step-dad had just had a heart attack, not nooooo........

Signed, your associate
