I have 4 divorce files sitting on my desk bar that the judge has signed and is ready to be processed and finalized by me. As I rolled the date on my file stamp to today’s date, I realize that these people are going to be divorced on Valentine’s Day. Should I not process these things today, and do them tomorrow so that it wouldn’t be finalized on V-day? Or should I give them what they probably want, anyway, which is to be single for V-day?
Here’s a cameraphone photo of my V-day tulips sitting on the bar of my desk next to the divorce files.
Tulips are my favorite! You lucky duck you! That’s a hard one if to process the ppwk or not. Maybe wait until tomorrow.
Would that be what they’d WANT, tho?
BTW, I worked out today at lunch, 1 day shy of taking 2 weeks off. Just 35 mins on the elliptical trainer, taking it easy. It took me so long to break a sweat! My metabolism is definitely off.
I just think about the people I know that have had a divorse and they always remember the day. So why ruin a day that celebrates love…
So that they’re free to celebrate new love! I dunno.
that’s right… celebrate a new love… OR new found freedom… or the fact the slimy pondscum sucker is out of your life…
oo was that too harsh?
But will Valentine’s be forever ruined by the memory that this is the day your divorce is final, so every V-day you will think about 🙁 So when youhave moved on and are celebrating this day, then your ex will pop in your head at least once. Just think about certain holidays that were big with your ex, or a birthday, etc. The next year around in that day you think of them. Well, at least I have.
I coincidentally was trying to remember my previous anniversaries earlier, and can’t. Ah, bliss.
Jordan, that wasn’t too harsh. In fact, I encourage you to be harsher. I think it’d be entertaining for us. 🙂
Vanessa… nah. Especially if you were the one that wanted the divorce. Besides, you have to make new memories… (good ones)
If I keep procrastinating by hanging out with you guys on here, this will all be a moot point.
I just imagined going to my supervisor to pose the question.
Me: Should I hold off on processing any divorces today? Cuz it’s Valentine’s Day today, ya know, and I don’t know whether people who get their papers in the mail to show their divorces finalized today would forever remember Valentine’s Day as the day their marriage end–
Supervisor: Stop dicking around and get these people divorced already! I’m not paying you to be sensitive to their future holiday associations. THEY’RE paying to get themselves divorced! Go do your work!!
Cindy: *sniff* Okay.
Just do it today. I sound like the Nike commercial
oh, pretty! i love tulips. 🙂
I compromised and only divorced 2 out of the 4 sets of peeps.
