Embarrassing yet funny

[sinkwriter]

So... yesterday was my birthday.

I had to work all day, then I had class until 10 PM. By the time I got home, there really wasn't much of a birthday left to celebrate.

HOWEVER... during the day, to celebrate, my coworkers decided to have a little fun with me. *GRIN*



First off, when I walked into the office, my desk had a hand-drawn and colored picture saying Happy Birthday, from my manager's daughter Grace. And they had given me joke gifts: vibrant purple paper clips, a pad of blue sticky notes (because we had run out of them in the office), and a fake autographed picture of Ralph Macchio (because I had joked that I had a crush on him when I was 12), on which they had written, "Stay Gold, Sherry... Love, Ralph Macchio." LOL.

They treated me to lunch, which was very nice.

My coworker Heather baked me homemade brownies, which were delicious.

And when I left work that night, I found this all over my car...

"Honk! It's My Birthday" on the back windshield, and "My friends ♥ me!" on the passenger side window

"Birthday Girl" and "Happy B-Day ♥ Grace" (a message from my manager's 8-year-old daughter)

And last but not least... with an arrow pointing at me in the driver's seat, another "Birthday Girl"

Yes, I had to drive to school in the evening, with my car like that, and leave it in the school parking lot while I went to class. LOL.

At least I know they love me, right? *GRIN*

Edited to add: Yes, a postal carrier honked at my car. :D

Did people honk at you on the way to school? :)

Yes. *GRIN* A postal carrier saw my car and gave two little beeps. Heeee.

Awwww, that's SO sweet!

I echo the above comment, did anyone honk?

Yes, a postal worker saw my car and gave a gentle little beep-beep! LOL.

Belated Happy Birthday!

Thank you, Kat! :D

And yes, they are good people. It's a small group, only four of us in the web design area, so it's nice that we all get along so well.

While I can totally understand the embarrassment of having to drive around in a car with writing all over it, it does seem that you've got a nice bunch of co-workers, and not everyone can say that. It's a definite bonus. :-)

Belated birthday greetings

Forgive me for being out of touch for so long. This is wonderful and I hope you finished the day with a bang: Belated birthday greetings to you:)

For the record, I just pulled out my phone and honked ;)
