Dear Aflac guy:
You presented a very well-put together, fast, informative presentation, but in an ideal world, I should not have had to wait until the presentation was over and most of the rest of my office had left in order to quietly ask you if Aflac's New York insurance plans would cover domestic parterships as well as regular het marriages (the answer was - "if your regular insurance covers him/her, so will Aflac" so I would actually be able to extend benefits to my spouse were we to get seperate-but-equal-not!married or run off toGretna Green Connecticut to tie the knot). You were very nice and totally cool and unfazed when I asked, but you ought to have proved it without being asked, because if my fiancee's parents weren't friends with my employers such that they already know about me/us, you can bet money I wouldn't have asked you in front of a co-worker, even in a deliberately casual undertone. I mean, my bosses and several of my co-workers already know, and I still couldn't bring myself to ask in front of everyone. Like, hollow-sick-feeling-in-my-stomach-at-the-very-thought couldn't ask.
On the other hand, the Fluffle was blissful at being presented with a stuffed Aflac duck keychain. Apparently, the comination of the plush duckie, the delightfully chewable hard plastic clip for hooking your keys to it, and the fact that it quacks "Aflac" when squeezed equals cat toy perfection.
