My wife shoveled the snow out of my driveway.

**luv** · 02-15-2007, 01:55 PM

I got talked to by my supervisor. Apparently, my employees think I'm snapping at them whe I ask them what they need when they come in my office or stop me while I'm out on the production floor. And then, about five minutes after that conversation, I discover that one of my employees has wasted over 1/4 of her night by scanning a job into the wrong place on the computer.

Isn't life grand?

Sorry, I shouldn't rant about a stressful night on a Valentines thread. The company did hand out little goodie bags. I was sweet enough to give mine away to someone who was taking theirs home to their kids.

Actually, yes it was. I hadn't even thought about that.

Her kids loss. Certainly not mine. I wouldn't have eaten any of the candy anyway. And it's not my fault she wasn't paying attention to what she was doing, or that she "wasn't feeling well" or her "head wasn't in the work". Discipline is part of my job. You don't want to get into trouble, pay attention to what you're doing.

ANYWAY....

So you know what I got... what about the wife?

I got up early in the morning and ran out, pretending I was going to the gym. Picked up a bunch of chocolate covered strawberries from the local bakery and a dozen roses (which were in horrible shape, which is funny, because my wife is a complete flower snob). That night we had decided we just wanted to cook a gourmet meal at home.

We had a really nice salsa from the gourmet store. I picked up some salmon and made up some spicy salmon steaks with west african sweet potatos for the main course. Served it with a Lake Sonoma Zin (good wine, btw). Dessert was ice cream drizzled with a cabernet hot fudge sauce.

I got one of these:

Next week is my birthday, so I get to pick out the custom clubs to go in the new bag.

First the Chiefs bowling ball, now this..........

As for what I did for her......well, it was pretty mushy, even by the Planet's standards, so I would probably be accused of being "teh ghey" or something like that.

Good stuff. I did some of the same things, but definitely had more "fru fru" items thrown in to create a little more ambiance.

They told me it was not uncommon for them to take several unfinished beer bottles and pour them all into one bottle and resell it.

Don't know about YOU but that sounds pretty disgusting to me.
