Original Commentary

Now, Jake does treat Robert as well as he treats anybody else. With the occasional jabs about Robert's technical skills and rants about how unfair it was that he got fired from Lemon Technology. But Jake does that to everybody else. He's the kind of person that it's hard to tell if he likes you or not - he treats his friends worse than his enemies because he knows his friends will put up with it - Terrence

Modern Commentary
"Hey, I want to ask you about my specific situation but I'm not going to tell you about it". Great communication, Robert. No wonder you're single.

Re-reading this story makes me wish I had cut a week out of it. If Jake used to complain less, it's because he had less to complain about.- Terrence
