Wow, that's pretty cool. Happy Birthday!
Excluding my wedding day of course.
I turn 50 tomorrow. I am not at work tomorrow so I figured I would get a card and some cake today.
Once I arrived I was surprised by my co workers shouting Happy Birthday and throwing streamers at me. They were all wearing t shirts with my picture on them saying "Nifty Nifty Look Who's Fifty". I was stunned by this. I was laughing and crying at the same time. I also discovered they had a t shirt for me to wear as well. At my wicket they had placed Balloons and signs telling everyone I was fifty. If a customer asked who's birthday it was all the staff would break into singing Happy Birthday. So all day I was able to share the fun with staff and customers. It was a great day. My regional VP even made an appearance and gave me a hug (shocked me because hey he is a VP). We shared a delicious cake with customers as well.
I even caught a potential fraud during all the excitement.
The icing on the cake so to speak was when it was time to go home, I do not drive so I usually walk. My boss told me to get my coat and stuff and come out side. To my shock and surprise there was a limo to drive me home. As I live 8 blocks away it would be a short ride but awesome all the same.
Turning 50 should have sucked but it didn't. It was the most awesome and wonderful birthday ever.
