[Maritime Q-Scout]

First Valentine's Day together with the girlfriend. For the record I hate Valentine's Day, still do. If you go back I think I posted my traditional Valentine's Day rant each of the past two or three years here on CP.

My girlfriend also hates the day (apparently she's had bad luck on February 14th). So I wanted to surprise her. She got a card in the mail yesterday, flowers delivered this morning. We planned on takeout and watching a movie. I set up my dining room table with candles, a rose, and a small fudge gift pack. I made sure with plenty of time to pick up Swiss Chalet (which is what she wanted). When I got home I put it in the oven to keep it warm, while I ironed my shirt. Then I smelt a smell that was like melting plastic. Apparently in my haste I just put the take-out still in the plastic containers in the oven on low. For those of us who aren't very good as science, fair warning. Apparently plastic melts. Who knew?!

I then called and re-ordered my food. It was funny the agent taking my call asked for my phone number, then said "hold on" and transfered me to someone else, who asked for my phone number. I told her and she said "ummm we already have an order in the system for you." I replied "ummm yeah, I piked that up already, long story short, I need another order of the exact same thing." She didn't ask questions (if by some freak coinsidence you're reading this Swiss Chalet call centre lady, thankyou).

Long story short, most expensive quarter chicken dinner I ever ate.
