Well, it's Valentine's Day again, the most romantic day of the year, and for the first time in ages, I have a date other than the Roommate (who happens to be a WONDERFUL VD date, don't get me wrong) this time around! Ok, just wanted to throw that out there. But having been on the other side of the fence, if you don't have a special someone on VD, all the flowers, chocolates in red velvet boxes and crepe paper hearts serve as a rude reminder that you are alone, unloved and terribly pitiful. Just call yourself Charlie Brown for the rest of the day. But to alleviate the depression, here's a Roommate story that's sure to lift your spirits.
A while back, when the Roommate and I still worked together and shared a few accounts (his sales rep to my customer service rep) we were driving back to the office after a customer visit and he was checking voice messages. After he left a message for a customer he tossed his cell phone onto the dash board and stated that he had an odd dream the night before. He was at the Lesbian Olympics when he started having stomach cramps so he went to the infirmary where he was told to sit on a trash can. At that point he realized he was having an ass baby. Also at about that point in the story I heard a beep and looked at his phone. "I don't think you hung up" I said and a look of horror appeared on the Roommate's face. "I hope Joe's voice mail automatically timed out quickly" is all he said and then decided to not worry about it because at that point what can you do? The next day at work the Roommate was talking to Joe about an order when Joe stopped the conversation mid sentence and said "I've got to ask you...........ass baby?" so the roommate blew it off with "Yeah, ass baby" like it was the most natural thing to say, like people had ass babies all the time. We later learned that Joe had forwarded the voice message to everyone he worked with and that it eventually made it's way to some of our competitors as well. That one was a hard one to live down, but the Roommate weathered it and now it's a funny story he likes to tell often. I told the Monk the story the other day and he said "sounds like a blog", so here it is.
Enjoy your VD and have a happy ASS BABY everyone!

It's a rare thing when reading about someone else's strangeness makes me feel better about "Me." So, thanks for that.
Happy Valentine's day...one day late.
I didn't blog last night because I hate VD (when I'm single of course), it really is a dumb holiday, single or not.
The ass baby story was great....
