Uh, what the hell, omnis. This is not elementary school.
Simon: I'm trying to put this as delicately as I can... How do I know you won't kill me in my sleep? Mal: You don't know me, son. So let me explain this to you once: If I ever kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed.

Our wings are not tired.
I would so not participate in that stupid V-Day crap, Omnis. Ack.

I would just not participate, to the point of not even opening the "valentines" that are in the box.
Alternately, just print up a bunch of flyers that say
Roses are red
Violets are blue
Development forced me
So this is for you.

We have a Secret Santa thing during Christmas, but it's completely optional.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
like teppy's version, but it might be a touch premature.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

The status is NOT quo.
The Valentine thing is ridiculous. I work at a warm, fuzzy school, and though we always have a "Make a Valentine" option in the faculty room (one year with Buffy valentines that I had nothing to do with but loved nonetheless) no one has to A) participate, B) provide their own, or C) feel guilty about thinking it's silly and deciding to opt out.
On a more serious note, Omnis, I think you need to tell your boss the truth. Sooner or later he's going to find out you applied, even if you don't get/take the job, and a lie now has the potential to make that really uncomfortable.

Herding cats for fun
I've been assuming that Visiting Buffistas is always a good cover story for travel. Especially if one wishes to be vague about the details with Management. I myself might apply for time off and say the reason is that a bunch of us are doing it so I'm going to be part of the crowd.
I would feel totally comfortable with a cover story like that, but then I would probably write off a social meal as a business meeting if I did such things with my taxes. Clearly I am devious and not setting a good example to follow.
