Jessica, that is rotten, rotten, rotten. I can't believe people would be that blatently cruel and dismissive. I am angry on your behalf.
Back in Chicago, I saw things like that happening in our corporate office (where I got a promotion to while I was there), and I was sick of it. So, I set out to make birthday treats for each person in the office for a whole year. It was great! People loved it and looked forward to it. I wish I was in your office. I'd fix it right now. Bastards.
Yay, Drew! How exciting!!!!
I did really well yesterday, making it through classes, tutoring and work. I got home and crashed. I was SO tired. I went to bed at 7:30pm. Of course, I was up half the night coughing, so I paid for possibly overdoing it. Now I have to figure out what to do today. I'm thinking of trying to go to lab on Thursday instead, but I have to figure out a plan with my TA first, because we have a lab report due today...and, unfortunately, it's handwritten, so I can't e-mail it to her. Ugh.
Yay Drew!
We do birthday celebrations once a month, cake and ice cream in the kitchen for all of that months' birthdays.
I think we should order a cake and have it delivered to Jess at work, and flowers, and perhaps a balloon.
Congrats, ND! I'm glad you were recognized for all your hard work.

I think that's a wonderful plan!
Yes!!!
There really is no excuse -- either you do something for everyone's birthday or you ignore everyone's birthday.
Those aren't just shoes for Jilli -- those are gorgeous.
There's another reason to trade my workplace with a Bitch -- I live in fear they'll remember my birthday. So far so good, but the new boss can be wily. They're pretty evenhanded about birthdays -- it's baby showers/gifts where things get uneven. I think they should just stop those.
Congratulations, Drew! Woo and hoo!
Good luck with the surgery, Jilli.
Wow, Jessica's coworkers suck.
I got a "We got your info and will let you know if you make the cut for interviews" letter from a job opening with which Amych hooked me up. Which is more than I've gotten from anyone else recently, so I'm gonna call it a happy thing--thanks Amych!
