I was sitting at my desk, when in walks the UPS lady with two packages, not just the one I was expecting.  My lucky day!  The box on top was from an online flower distributor, completely unexpected.  I signed for it and opened it with great anticipation - was it from some man whom I'd just met and had no idea he had a crush on me?  Was it a welcome home present? 

 No.  

The card said, "Rematch?  T"

Huh?

It took me a minute.  Is this from my supervisor who signs his emails with T?  Did he mean to send these to the other Co-Director as an inside joke but sent them to me to give to the other Director?  Rematch?

Then, it dawned on me.  Tyler.  The rematch being a game he taught me to play and I finally beat him at it.  Tyler from four months ago, who has sent me multiple emails, text messages, FaceBook messages, and called late at night on a couple of occassions (and, no, I've not answered or picked up one time).

I walked away.  I looked out the window.  I walked back to the box and opened it to see which flowers he had sent me.  I was taken aback by odor of Stargazer Lillies and eucalyptus.  I am allergic to both, so allergic that in a matter of minutes I was wheezing.

I closed the box and looked up the distributor online.  He sent me the Sympathy Bouquet (small one) with the free vase.

If you tell a lady that she would make a good prostitute, if you fail to inform her before sleeping with her and progressing to the point of her actually having a toothbrush at your place, as well as introducing her to your brother, that you just got out of a long-term committed relationship and aren't emotionally available, if she buys you tickets to go the Kennedy Center for a performance of one of your favorite composers and don't say "Thank you" until a day after she told she bought them for you, do you think it's a good idea to send her a cheap Sympathy Bouquet?  One that she is allergic to, no less?

The flowers ended up in the break room at the other end of the hall with a "free flowers" sign on them.  I hope some one enjoyed them.
