MY AI ASSISTANT WAS MORE EXCITED ABOUT MY PROMOTION THAN MY BOYFRIEND

i got promoted after months of difficult work and came home bursting with excitement. my boyfriend congratulated me briefly, then asked whether i'd picked up groceries

i told my assistant the news while updating my goals. it generated a celebration graphic, suggested a special dinner, and wrote a ridiculous acceptance speech for my imaginary award ceremony

i laughed, then felt a little sad that software had given me a bigger celebration than the person i lived with. when i told my boyfriend, he realized he hadn't understood how important the promotion was

we went out for dinner and talked about what the achievement meant. the assistant's confetti animation remains in my favorites folder
