Valentine’s Day is quickly approaching, and I know many woman are expecting flowers from the their significant other. My wife, the lovely Shannon, reminds me all the time that she would love flowers at work. She mentions this every time I send pictures of flowers via text message, and asking if these flowers brighten her day.So instead of waiting until February 14, I ordered flowers to be delivered on Monday, at her work place. When they arrived, she called to remind me that Valentine’s Day is on Friday, not Monday, and her co-worker thought I was an idiot for sending them early.
But here is the method to the madness. Girls want to get flowers no matter what day of the week, year, or holiday. And they want to show off their flowers, in their office, to the their co-workers, and clientele. So why would I wait until Friday to send flowers when I can maximize their effectiveness by getting them delivered on Monday?
By getting them delivered early, they can sit in her office all week, everyone gets to see them, and make their comments, and I look like a hero. Versus sending them on Friday, and they either sit unnoticed all weekend, get neglected and wilt, or she brings them home, and I get to watch my expensive gesture rot on a coffee table.In my mind, Monday was definitely the best choice!
