Hello, everyone! As you've probably noticed, we've been having a few problems - I mentioned earlier that something got knocked out of balance, and we had to recalibrate, but in a few days we should be able to drop the emergency measures. Please be aware that there is an incoming storm, class four. General orders for that kind of thing are to report to management for any known threats and follow instructions, but so far what's known is "that might be a little annoying" and "hope it isn't". Theoretically it'll probably be related to the holiday, I think, because a large group of souls focused through the needle of a pin on one thing can sort of shape a thing around them.

That's sort of a really inaccurate way to put it on the technical side of things, but I think it's the easiest way to understand it! At any rate, we'll know more once we're in the thick of things. Please take care as usual; resources aren't exactly what some of you seem to think they are, and we had to expend rather more than usual in the past month or so to keep things with a few of you steady.

thanks for being even more unhelpful than you already are

can you not ruin valentines day, it's already bad enough as it is

I can't tell if you like or dislike Valentines day, with you defending it.

HARD DISLIKE

But you don't want it to be ruined? It's nice of you.

what is there to ruin it's barely a holiday

walk into any department store and you get ROMANCE AND LOVE shoved down your throat

it's enough of a holiday to be an annoyance

is there anything you don't find annoying

but it has candy!!!!!

objection

the day after has candy on sale and none of the obnoxiousness that comes with the actual holiday

so you won't hand out valentines candy on valentines day???????

If it's already bad, maybe ruining it will make it good?

two very wrong acts don't make a halfway decent act

Maybe not. But three lefts make a right.

To me it rather sounds like you’d welcome a distraction during that particular day, considering your rather jaundiced view of it.
I admit I’m inclined to agree.

i welcome valentines day being over, for both my dislike of it and whatever these crazy people have in store

yes because complaining about it is more than helpful than what they're doing

just suck it up and deal with it, im sure you've stayed here long enough unless you're one of the newbies that just came in

wow, excuse me, i wasn't aware complaining to relieve stress was against the rules now

my apologies, law maker of complaints, i'll do better to abide by your bullshit standards

mr. leon, there's nothing for me to fix, nothing is broken yet ("yet" being the keyword here.)
