So I spent "Sucky Love Day" with Shana. For the like, 4th year in a row. How depressing is that? Tricia was there too, even though she has a boyfriend. We went to dinner (McDonalds. Drive Through, even) and a movie. We saw Along Came Polly. 50 First Dates was originally on the table, but was then vetoed because it was not only it's opening weekend, it was also Valentines day, and none of us wanted to be brought down by the desire a: Slit our wrists, b: regurgitate our MickeyD's or c: all of the above. My mother, once again, said that maybe we'd have a date if we'd stop dating each other. Bah. What the hell does she know, she just found out her (now ex)boyfriend is married.

I am not going to dwell on the depressing commercial mess that is valentines day, just look back on one of my fave previous entries, it'll do the trick for you.

Shana did, however, burn me 2 CDs for the occasion. One is entitled "Love Me" the other, "On 2nd Thought, Fuck You". Hee! She's sooo my best friend for a reason.

So the other day, after I had been sick for 5 straight days, I finally take my ass back to work. I'm there for maybe about 2 hours when the center director calls me into her office. See, ever since they told us that we were all getting laid off, office morale has become... let's just say subterrainian. So, when I missed 3 days in a row, it was "suspicious". So she called me in because she wanted to make sure that I understood that "this is still a job, even though it's ending soon", and that "we all still have responsibilities". I looked at her and contemplated just telling her where she can stick her little responsibilities speech, but I didn't, because I never do. Instead I just said "um, I was very sick, that's why I wasn't here". Then she said "Oh, I didn't know you were ill. I just wanted to make sure, since we've had so many people stop caring". I think it's best that I didn't tell her that my plan is to stay until they let me go so I stay unemployed all summer, collect unemployment and not have to get a new job that will prevent me from going to Florida to see sexy men until after I get back. Because, yes, Nsync is more important than financial security.

OK, I'm gonna jet, there is candy on sale somewhere, and I gotta go find it. Later days.
