[quote:Aquarius 7:MV85NzY5MDJfMTUyODgzNThfNzAwM0IyNkM=] [quote:Anonymous 750018] In many offices, they have a quarterly birthday cake & ice cream coffee break to celebrate for everyone who had a birthday during that time. Lots easier on the wallet, and I think more appropriate for adults. Why not not suggest something like that for your office? [/quote] . . We did a similar thing at the last office I worked for. Approx 50 employees ... once a month would be Birthday Day, and the firm provided cake and coffee or punch for everyone. Short announcement on the PA ... Birthday Cake in the conference room. Everyone would migrate there for cake and conversation for about 20 to 30 minutes. Whosever birthdays it was were acknowledged ... as I said, a bit of chitchat and visiting, then back to work. Worked out well. Even the senior partners were there. , , [/quote]

I don't know why it bothers me so much. It just seems so incredibly childish and narcissistic. I actually have a female friend who is 47 who has had a birthday every year of her life with a bunch of invited guests and presents expected. I have another friend about the same age who spends her 23 year old son's birthday with him all day and evening. I work with women in their 30's and 40's who go absolutely ape shit about their birthdays. I just had to dish out over $30 for the pizza for the office party. And she is as giddy as a 6 year old as she blows out her candles.
Does anyone grow the fuck up?
