Happy Birthday To Me.

[kyrielle]

Hey, wow, it's my birthday. Scott gave me a gift last night, and I'd hardly thought about it; so I blinked. I got an email this morning. The office has donuts.

It's weird. Birthdays used to matter so much when I was growing up, and then they stopped because I just didn't keep track. And partly because, well, for a while the former secretary at our office insisted on birthday lunches for everyone, and I really, really wanted them to forget mine. I don't generally enjoy meals as a social occasion, so giving me such a meal for my birthday is not really a gift.

On the other hand, today brought donuts to the office in my honor, and polite happy birthdays. I like donuts, and minor fuss. I like donuts rather a lot.

So far, so good. (Major problem at client site, but sorting it out is blessedly someone else's problem, and a quick-fix for it was in place before we finished the evaluation.)

Happy Birthday, Laura dear. ^_^

I know what you mean. Last year, my parents called to wish me a happy birthday, and my reaction was a rather blank "It's my birthday? Oh yeah."

Happy Birtday :-)

Would you like some snow? If you could take significant amount of my hands it would be most appreciated ;^)

I suppose it makes sense for us to wish you a happy birthday. :-) So, happy birthday.

EEK!
