At work, we choose names out of a bag each year and provide a special birthday treat for the person we pulled.  With my birthday coming up, I knew something was coming but didn’t expect it to happen so early.  This morning during our weekly staff meeting our Department Administrator poked her head in the room and announced that there would be a birthday treat for me at lunch.  Oh boy…it was quite a treat indeed.

There were banners all over my desk, I was greeted with a lei and tiara, and I got an ice cream cake!!  They sang “Happy Birthday” for me with party blowers galore.  It was a nice gesture but pretty embarrassing too.  All I can say is that it was definitely memorable.
