Happy belated Valentine's! <3 I don't celebrate the holiday but will shamelessly use it as justification to draw characters in ridiculous situations. This was inspired originally by
Julia and Paul Child who sent Valentine's greetings to friends and family because they were too disorganized to send out Christmas cards. I then saw
this post. I'm sorry. To my new LJ friends, hello! *waves* I hope this doesn't scare you away. Heh.

RE: Threat to Office Valentine’s Exchange
It has come to my attention that certain employees have abused our beloved tradition of exchanging Valentine’s greetings within the office. It seems they felt it was the appropriate venue to engage in a sort of arms race of vulgarity resulting the offending not a few numbers of their coworkers with their so-called greetings. This does not represent the sort of camaraderie we hope to foster within the office, nor does it reflect the values of the company. If this kind of behavior persists we will be forced to terminate the tradition and the good-natured joviality it meant to engender along with it. The new guidelines to follow regarding greetings exchanged in the office:
1.No portraits of the giver shall be part of the greeting. NO EXCEPTIONS!!
2. No obscene words or phrases
3. Use common sense! If you wouldn’t send it to your grandmother, don’t send it to your coworker
Happy Valentine’s Day!
