The Day After

Back at work the day after my birthday. And, well, usually when a teammate has a birthday, the other team-members all pitch in $10 each and buy a gift card.

Well, I never got my gift card yesterday, so I assumed I would get one today.

My hopes were raised ever so little when one my teammates called me over for a second...to give me a birthday card.

Fine, so I send out a thank-you email and "gently" suggest that instead of getting me the usual gift card they could sponsor me for the upcoming AIDS Walk LA.

What was the response?

Crickets.

Ah, back to the other 364 days of the year.
