office romance

It's that time of year. The holiday with a spark or the holiday that forces many to drown their sorrows away. A bittersweet holiday, if you will. To be honest, if it weren't for the decorations lining the lobby and the office staff's doors, I would have forgotten the so-called holiday entirely. Am I bitter? I would say no but maybe I am in subconsciously in denial. Depends who's asking! I did enjoy some of those candy hearts with phrases on them with my morning coffee. There have been at least half a dozen deliveries of flowers this morning. Every time we hear an "oooohhhh" or an "ahhhhh", some of my co-workers and myself tally it up to a flower delivery. At the end of the day we will tally up all the silly gifts/cards/flowers etc. and whoever guessed closest wins a six-pack. I bet eleven.
