A few years ago Darin and I went out for dinner on Feb. 13, because that was the night we had arranged for date night. It was a Tuesday, which generally speaking is dead (one of the reasons we like going out on Tuesday nights).
To our surprise, the restaurant we picked was packed. We asked the maître d’ what was going on. We would have expected the place to be packed on February 14, but not February 13.
Without missing a beat the maître d’ said, “February 14 is for wives, February 13 is for girlfriends and mistresses.”
Wow. That’s romantic.
In case you’re wondering why your guy absolutely needed to work late tonight…now you know.
Dammit. I’m technically no longer Darin’s boss as of today so I can’t make him work late just to make you wonder.
Seriously, you do realize that if Darin does have a mistress that it’s a web browser?
Or husbands procrastinating with a gift.
As of today? I thought it was Friday!
Darin’s already told me he doesn’t have anything for tomorrow. I said, “Why mess with a 20 year record?” He gave me the Darin Look.
My last day is Friday but I divested myself of direct reports today because… I can.
