Happy Birthday from the Office

Today was my happy birthday from the coworkers. It is really nice when the people you work with remember your birthday. One of them even BAKED A CAKE. How cool is that? I honestly don’t remember the last time I had a homemade birthday cake (we’re not exactly culinary aficionados in my family).

So I was in the back part of the office when I hear an urgent page:

“Chrystal, please come to the lobby immediately”.

So I walk quickly but professionally toward the lobby thinking “What dire emergency is so hopeless that only I can deal with it? Obviously someone has forgotten their brain and only I can restore them to sanity. I hope it’s a least a good story for my blog.”

I am waved into my office by air traffic coworkers and was greeted by a chocolate cake set ablaze (they really had 26 candles on it!). Through the smoke, my coworkers were grinning with the success of their surprise. Flowers and a card topped it off.

A very nice birthday.
