birthday in here

so my birthday was on thursday. i’m not big on birthdays. mine or anyone else’s really.

i didn’t post anything on fb and made my bday private on their just hoping to get past it and finish out the work year.

there was a group text with work people wednesday night that somehow mentioned my bday being the next day, but i’m too lazy to quote it. something about being added to the group text and somehow that related to my birthday.

but the decorated my desk. it was easy to figure out who did what. leticia did some of it, but rachel did the bulk. she chose the colors for the streamers (green for intelligence) and wrote, “ur old” with some post-its (she teases me about it, she’s 2 years younger).

saw some friends/coworkers in the cafeteria downstairs and they sang me happy birthday there. it was embarrassing, but nice all the same.

went back upstairs and that’s when i saw the decorations. got a slinky and some movie tickets from jason (one of the friends who sang happy birthday), so that was cool.

the day went as usual, work is work. i told everyone that i was going to go deliver some papers (both that afternoon and the next day, friday). it seemed like people were mad for some unknown reason. come to find out that they (rachel, thinking other people were involved somehow) got two cakes for my birthday. one was chocolate and the other was....not? i was working with some staff and they called me over and sang happy birthday to me. it was nice. i felt bad since they really didn’t do this type of thing for anyone else except our bosses. so there was that, it was tasty.

lunch rolled around and i was trying to finish things before leaving. my usual lunch group went at 12, so i ended up postponing. shocking i ended up going with rachel and the gal she usually goes to lunch with, ann. we went to this place in chinatown that we’ve been to a few times before for other things. we got some chinese food and then i dropped them off to go deliver my stuff for work.
