"He's a big dumb animal, isn't he folks!"

The title of this post is a quote from the movie Tommy Boy, and is my standard saying whenever I do something retarded. My alternate title for this post, also from Tommy Boy, was "Let me tell you why I suck."

I had six hours in the car by myself on Sunday to contemplate each millisecond of Saturday night, and by the time I rolled into the city I was so filled with self-loathing that I didn't know what to do with myself. I ate some dinner then went to bed, hoping a good night's rest would make things seem better.

I got into work around 7am Monday morning feeling as badly for myself as I had when I went to bed. I decided I should write to Dee (you have to get right back on that horse when you fall off). I think I wrote three drafts, they were all complete shit. The first email was an apology for being a jackass. The second draft ignored my buffoonery, and went along like nothing awkward ever happened. The third draft was a mixture of the two. I don't know how, but before I really knew what was happening I had clicked "I Agree" on the 1-800-flowers website sending a dozen red roses to Dee's office with a card that read "I wish I got to see you more often." Moments after sending I had a minor panic attack, what the hell was I doing? I had only sent flowers once before in my life, this was completely out of character for me, what a jerk-off. In case you are wondering, once you buy the roses there is no way to stop the order.

  1. Seems like you like this chick more than you are willing to admit. I think it has something to do with her emotional unavailability. I hope you share her reaction!

  2. We all want what we can't have, right.
