I work three part time jobs right now. I've already posted a few stories about my weekend gas station job, but I'd like to share something about my weekday morning office job, where I work as an independent contractor doing paralegal work.
There is no way my co-workers knew my birthday was coming up; my boss didn't even look at my Driver's License when I was hired because I'm an IC. Therefore I can only conclude that there are magical Birthday Elves working in the office.
The Elves were tipped off to my birthday by my lovely family, who sent a bouquet of flowers with a very subtle "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" balloon attached. I saw the flowers being walked into the store while I was still across the street. Upon finding out my terrible secret, the Elves went to work.
In no less than thirty minutes, the Elves produced a giant birthday card that everybody signed, a Yankee candle, a personal card from my immediate supervisor, and a dozen cupcakes.
I must find a way to thank the Elves. I think an offering of lemon biscotti is in order.
