Coffee Cups 1593 and 1594

Two years ago over Cup 163 I wrote this:
It is Monday and I have no chocolates. One of the joys, and there were few joys, about working for a Japanese company was that the girls in the office gave me chocolates for Valentine’s Day. It is bizarre how things get translated. I relate this story every year to Presh, and every year I get no chokos. That is probably why I picked up a chocolate croissant from the bakery downstairs. White Day is when the girls get their treats from the guys. I was told that the proper gift on White Day is white panties. I was told that and I believed them. I am much more skeptical these days and there is the Internet. Turns out they were not kidding me. 163.
A year ago Presh surprises me with a box of chocolates. 1593.
This year, I get the best surprise ever. A golden box of dark chocolates from that fancy chocolatier. She remembered (again). 1594.
