  • Birthday Surprise at Work

    I didn't expect much to happen this birthday (today). I"m broke, my sister is broke, my aunts and uncles gave me their cards weeks ago, and my grandparents gave me 1 month notice to move.

    I get to work in a bad mood suffering from the Mondays (and I left my shirt which I don't wear in the car cause it's hot) at home, so I'd have to wear my suit jacket that I leave at my desk all day.

    I go in, enter my office, and there are BALLOONIES! 2 of those shiny ones they sell at the supermarket. I never got those before. ^w^

    After thanking Admin, who brought them (and telling her I never got them before, and they made me very happy), we had the daily meeting.

    We get through all the Business stuff, and Admin forgot some document at her desk. She comes back with a tray of brownies with 5 birthday candles and a card, and they all sing Happy Birthday! Sup even got 4 singles serving Ice Cream thingies (cookie dough, cookies and creme, and Vanilla!).

    Fantastic surprise. I don't know how long it's been since I got to celebrate my birthday on the birthday. And for the first time, they don't know my family, so I don't have to share with anyone. ^w^

    EDIT:

    Just checked my Email. Bossman also got me a $25 E-gift card to the art supply store I go to! No one EVER give me presents I actually like or would use.

    That's awesome! I haven't had a boss celebrate my birthday in years. It's always nice when people remember.

    Congratulations on the sweets for you only.

        Congrats!

        The new boss makes a big deal of birthdays. We get a card, the dept sings Happy Birthday, and then he buys you lunch.

              Terribly sorry, you appear to have stepped into an alternate dimension without prior authorisation. We apologize for the inconvenience. Normal service will resume shortly. The balloon will burst, the cake will be stale and the gift voucher will turn out to be expired.

              Honestly, we can't have people happy on their birthdays. That's just wrong!

              happy birthday! Hope it gets even better!

                        It's not a day unless you had your daily serving of Bacon-Obsessed Pony-Dogs.
