    HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

    Sorry it wasn't what you were hoping for - did anyone at work know it was your bday? I'm also in the no party club too and 50 is my next one. I'll throw my own party if I have too!

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

    I know how you feel. Where I work, I'm expected to take other people to lunch for their birthdays, but no one ever offers to take me to lunch. I've worked here 9 years and they all know when my birthday is. Whatevs. I take myself out.

    I'll be 45 soon. (Like, Friday.)

    Happy birthday! I didn't ever get black balloons but I'm glad. I always thought that was kind of creepy.

    I felt that way, when I first started my last job. All of the other teachers hated me (seriously... they thought I was too progressive and threatening). In my previous job, we celebrated everything, so it was hard.
    Eventually all of the haters left and we became very social!

    Happy birthday Beth!

    Sorry your day was such a letdown. Here's hoping the rest of the year makes up for it!
