Valentines Day

I was reading my post entry for Feb 14th 2008, what a difference a year makes. Last year I went out scored 3 make outs and was trying to figure out how I could have pulled a girl into the disabled toilets. This year Feb 14th was quite a contrast. We were both working the next day so decided to have a quiet evening in, cook some good food and watch a movie. Afterwards we presented each other with little gestures of our appreciation for each other. Mine included giving her a dozen red roses and I got a little box, filled it with heart shaped foil chocolates, heart shaped confetti and then on 23 pieces of confetti (we had been officially together for 23 days), wrote a different thing I loved about her. Placed them all inside and wrapped a red bow around.

    Now I was a little unsure about this, I thought it may have been a little cheesey, however, I couldn't have been more wrong. She was absolutely blown away and said it was the nicest thing anyone has ever done for her and how she was going to tell all her friends, result! The thing is we had originally only said we'd get each other cards, but I know women, when they say one thing they generally mean another. 

   For me she made the fairy cakes above (food), she also gave me some lush soap (shower), then an envolpe with little ones inside each with a date on. Apparantly each envolpe had a 'date' inside that represented something I was interested in/ a side of me. The first one was to go see the movie Notorious with her, as this is the sort of film she'd never go see usually. The food and shower references are to a text I sent her a while back where I joked I only go to see her to use her shower and because she cooks for me. She also gave me this Vogue collections magazine, with the spring summer collections from every designer, which was quite expensive for a magazine, essential for my work. I have to say I really loved all the effort she had put and had an amazing evening as did she. 

As far as the work is concerned I got told they'll be keeping me in personal shopping. They couldn't say I was definitely permenant but my manager said that as far as she was concerned, I have done incredible well and I was working in my best role. So... looks like all the work has sort of paid off.
