Just Friends

I have been in a foul mood since Monday, and I just figured out why last evening. It’s Valentine’s Day! Today started off okay. I was doing fine until my co-worker made a huge deal over me not going out on Valentine’s.

Co-worker: “Are you going out for Valentine’s?”
Me: “No.”
Co-worker: “Why not?”
Me: “Because I do not have a Valentine.”
Co-worker: “Why not?”
Me: “Because I just don’t.”
Co-worker: “But why not?”
Me: “…”
Co-worker: “I thought you and your friend (gestures at a picture of me and a friend I have sitting on my desk) would be doing something”
Me: “He’s just a friend”
Co-worker: “Why?”
Me: “Cause he’s just a friend”
Co-worker: “Well why aren’t you going out and doing anything then?”

Seriously? Seriously! I finally just turned around, put my headphones on and resumed working. I heard a “Sorry” out of her a few moments later. Was that whole conversation even necessary?

I know I shouldn’t get bent out of shape over this day, but it’s difficult not to. If your single (and not by choice), it’s SHOVED down your throat that you are alone. And, when you’ve never had a Valentine, it gets a little old after a while.

Alright, I’m being bitchy and it is kind of really pathetic. lol.
