Valentine's Day

[mousme]

You know what? I have never actually spent Valentine's Day with anyone ever before. I have occasionally gone out with groups of single friends to do generic movie/dinner stuff, but I've never had a date on Valentine's Day.

Surprisingly, I'm not bitter. Somehow I like not having the pressure of romance on Valentine's Day. Maybe when I'll have someone I adore beyond words I'll want to do something romantic with them on that day, but right now I'm okay with just being by myself.

*dies* One of my clients just asked me out! Poor guy... he was about my age and works down at the Old Port for customs. I felt so bad turning him down. I told him my calls were monitored (true) and that it was against company policy to fraternise with the clients (I have no idea but likely true-ish).

*faceplant*

I'm such a sucker for sob stories.

At least I fixed his account for him. And I said I hoped he had a good Valentine's Day.

Wow. What kind of loser would ask a customer service rep out on a date over the phone? What could he have possibly learned about you in the course of this service call to lead him to ask you out?

Oh, hush. You minimize our dear Bookworm's charms.

So if the best happens and you get that translation job, does that mean he's eligible? Better take note of that phone number. You know, just in case. 0 8^)

I have learned from bitter, bitter experience that going out with someone because you feel sorry for them is NOT a good idea.

And no, I'm not referring to recent experiences. This goes much farther back. ;)

Apparently a loser from customs in the Old Port. ;)

What he learned was that I have a good phone voice and am paid to be friendly with lonely losers on Valentine's Day. ;)

Valentine's Day

I've had a grand total of one good Valentine's day... (coincidentally, the only one I was in a relationship for). Last year, we had just started going out and we're still in what people described as the "nauseatingly cute" stage of our relationship. I remember spending more money than I've ever felt comfortable spending and not blinking twice because seeing the happiness in her eyes made it all worth it. I still miss her so...
