When I got to work this morning, I gave Jane one of my chocolate energy bars from the stash in my desk.
She just stared at it blankly.
I said it was a gift of chocolate in honor of St. Valentine Ha’Kadosh, may his memory be a blessing.
She was just, like, “Kthxbye.”

I thought, maybe I’m not trying hard enough! So during my lunch break, I shlepped 10 blocks to the nearest gentile convenience mart. (I always feel so awkward walking into one of those, don’t you? But I’m such a great friend!)

The greetings card shelf was mostly empty, but I found a few cards on sale to bring back to the office. I put them in all three of my Christian coworkers’ mailboxes.

This afternoon, Yair from HR dumped my cards back on my desk. “There have been a few complaints,” he said.
Say what?!

I looked at the cards again. I didn’t see what the issue was. They were clearly very traditional!
A banana saying, “I’m bananas for you!”
A ladybug saying, “Could I bug you to be my Valentine?”
A dog saying, “Fetch me some love on Valentine’s Day!”

I tried to make it up to Jane by asking her to get drinks with me after work.
She said she was spending tonight with “someone special.”
Ouch! I guess I’m just not special enough for you, Jane.
