Valentines Day.....

Now... who's idea was this? I know sanity is supposedly not statistical but somebody, please, tell me am not crazy to think this thing's been blown way out of proportion. I don't do well with dates... no not those kind of dates.... I mean dates like important event dates..... birthdays, anniversaries, holidays etc. Probably because I don't think they are really as important as..... well..., unless they mean I get to stay home and still get paid as if I worked the shirt off my back.

Anyway, I'd all but forgotten about valentines day till I had this(IM) conversation as soon as I got to work this morning. I was so tickled senseless by the craziness of it all that I decided to post it here for, hopefully, your bemusement and mine. I have changed the names to minimize any cyber-embarrassment risk to either the parties involved or the 'great' company that puts bread and internet capabilities on my table. SA for Secret Admirer is a girl at my workplace that I could have..... ahem!....(sorry! Lost in translation) until I changed my mind. Am sure her version of what transpired is materially different but you won't find it on this blog.



SA [11:49 AM]: good morning

KK [11:50 AM]: hi dear

I was looking for u yesterday

SA [11:50 AM]: you were??? I was here

KK [11:50 AM]: Not when I looked... u must have signed in late

SA [11:51 AM]: oh maybe....

how have you been?

KK [11:51 AM]: Alright.... u?

SA [11:52 AM]: I'm good thanks....

KK [11:52 AM]: Where are my cookies at?

SA [11:52 AM]: i am picking htem up on the 16th

sorry the 26th

KK [11:53 AM]: Ok... I might have money by then

If am still alive

SA [11:53 AM]: why wouldn't you be???

KK [11:53 AM]: I may have starved to death

SA [11:53 AM]: lol

are you sending me flowers tomorrow?

KK [11:54 AM]: most people give me food or money for it.... but if I get any flowers

SA [11:55 AM]: you should just send them to me, from you.... and your heart

KK [11:56 AM]: They cost money.... which my heart is currently short on

I wouldn't be starving otherwise

SA [11:57 AM]: do you get paid every 2 weeks?

KK [11:57 AM]: yeah... and?

SA [11:58 AM]: what the heck do you do with all that money??

KK [11:58 AM]: Oh... Its all gone b4 it even hits my bank

SA [11:59 AM]: that's not good

KK [12:00 PM]: tell me about it

I'd drink to that but you'd have to buy

SA [12:00 PM]: what about your taxes?

KK [12:01 PM]: I pay them too why/

?

SA [12:02 PM]: no, didn't you file them???? and get money back

KK [12:02 PM]: No...not yet... the tax preparers want money too

its a vicious circle

SA [12:03 PM]: you can do them for free online

KK [12:03 PM]: Really? Did u do urs

?

SA [12:04 PM]: yes, they are done

KK [12:04 PM]: Why don't you get me flowers then/

Better yet how about a meal or two?

SA [12:05 PM]: because i am always the person buying... i wold finally like someone to buy for me

KK [12:06 PM]: I see... I would love to do the buying... if only I could

SA [12:07 PM]: Well I do love to buy things for people. But once inawhile it's nice to get things too

KK [12:08 PM]: I so agree with you

SA [12:08 PM]: life sucks i guess..... nothing for me

KK [12:10 PM]: don't worry.... we r in the same boat

I think love is mostly misunderstood and in the process constantly misused. I would love to make that my noble quest; to figure out the real meaning of love, but am currently short on nobility... You lose all pretenses when starvation sets in... my sole ambition right now is to secure a full meal.
