It's a valentine's card, and it was signed by the mail room - but somehow I think it didn't get to her. Can you please relay this info to her and then kindly delete this post?
Kindly appreciated.
I'm sorry to put you in the middle of this, but it probably isn't the best idea to post this info in her blog.
Ah, okay. I'll ask my mail room at work then???
Wait. That was my SA right?
Tell him I didn't get it because he sent it to the wrong address.
uhhhh. he knows where you work? thought you said you didn't wanna be stalked..and for goodness sake, exchange e-mail addresses already will you two?
I say.....stalk your stalker.
=)
