I get to my part-time job a couple Saturdays ago and saw there were cupcakes that said "Happy Birthday" on them. I asked "whose b'day?" It was a woman who just had left who seemed to have been trying to get me to ask her out (which finally subsided.) I threw a "By the way, happy b'day" out there this past week, and she attempts to lay a guilt trip on me... telling me that what I get her this week will let her know how sorry I am for missing her birthday. WTF?
She's a really nice woman, but should I really have to get her anything? I don't even know what to get my mother for her 60th b'day this coming Tuesday! I'm recovering from hernia surgery. I don't have time to do anything for someone just because she sends out interoffice emails to announce her birthday & does things like giving out candy gift packets with her picture on M&M's for her birthday.
Hell, I don't even tell people when it's my birthday. One year, at an old job, this woman asked when my birthday was when it was my actual b'day. I asked why... "We're putting together a birthday list of all employees." Rather than go through the crap that would obviously come up if I said "today," I told her Feb. 29. If she wanted it that bad, my real b'day is in my file. On 3/1 I get a card signed by all the staff... including the ones who I went drinking with for my real b'day. Idiots...
So would it be bad to give her a pack of microwave popcorn with "Happy Late B'day" written on it with a sharpie? :D
