This Is The Type Of Stupid Shit I'm Talking About
as mentioned, i tend to be selfish, shallow, and narcissistic. granted, i'm getting better, but i realize it's an uphill battle against my normal nature. oh, i'm decent and nice enough. i just tend to think about me first. i'm gonna attribute it to being the first born, but chances are it's just my immature personality. it's all about me!
now that we have that out the way, i do try to be considerate of others. i like to buy cards for birthdays, anniversaries, to say thank you, congratulations, etc. i try to regularly send cards to both my sister and brother to let them know i'm thinking of them, and always try to route birthday cards to friends and coworkers. in addition, i do my best to mail "i love you" cards to the adorable on a weekly basis, because i always want him to know that i'm thinking of him and love him to tears, even when i'm being a bitchy crabball.
anyway, in the past two weeks, i routed a congratulations card for a coworker that just bought a house (i'll probably spring for a margarita set at target or bed, bath, and beyond as she'll have the perfect indoor/sun porch for her get-togethers). i also routed a card for a coworker, our graphics guru/wizard that left our company to do freelance work--more so because he hates the department he's in (the old department i used to be stuck in) and because another guy that does graphics gets paid $90k to outsource all the projects, be late on everything, and just be a dick. so i understand why the coworker left. it was an intolerable situation and i've been there before. at the toxic waste dump.
so, i get this email from the cabbage patch head (or the cph as the adorable one has dubbed her) saying that she routed the congratulations card back to me as she recognized my handwriting on the post-it note i used to list everyone's name with a place to check it off. now, the whole reason she emailed me and copied our supervisor, was to reiterate the fact that she does not want a card routed for her birthday and she wants no celebration, mention, or hoo-haw. whatever.
i found it particularly hilarious after i had routed this totally diplomatic response about not knowing when her birthday was and not making any type of plan or knowing of a plan regarding any celebration. i swear, this is the stupidest shit in the world. does she not have anything better to do than send emails about not wanting anyone to do anything nice for her birthday? guess not. and her loss, because i love a big fuss. in fact, the bigger the better, i don't care how old i get. i want the presents, flowers, candy, cake, good wishes, balloons, the whole kitten caboodle.
i mentioned this to the adorable one after work, naturally, and he said, "who gives a shit when her birthday is?" my point exactly.
