I’m here sitting in my office, hammering away on a report and wishing I was taking a crunk day to play catch-up when I get ambushed by the director and assistant director of the department with an armful of balloons and some cookies.
“Happy birthday!” they scream.
“Umm…thanks…but it was in March.”
“March?”
“Yeah. The 18th.”
“Are you sure? Because I checked my calendar.”
“Yeah, I’m pretty sure I know my own birthday is on the 18th of March, no question.”
“Well my calendar says May 19th,” says the yes-man assistant director.
“It’s March 18th.”
“Are you sure?” the director asks again. I really don’t feel like dealing with these simple ass folks today.
“Yes, I’m sure.”
They walk off, mumbling to themselves something about misplaced recurrences in Outlook, not realizing how idiotic they look running up on someone trying to deliver birthday wishes when it’s not their birthday.
To make it even worse, they didn’t even leave the cookies.
I think I’ll be taking that crunk day after lunch.
damn that was too funny!! loved it
now, do you think they got your birthday mixed up with someone else’s?
no k-girl, they is stoopido. karsh, i love this – this reminds me to work on my resume. it’s one thing to forget or even mistakenly put it on the calendar wrong. to then try to insist your birthday is another time… welll dayum, give back america and let’s move cuz these folks want everything at any low price non thinking they can not be bothered to do. dayummmmm
Sorry to be laughing at your expense, but that ish was hella funny! Didn’t even get an oatmeal raisin out the ordeal…just wrong.
This was hilarious. Thanks for brightening my day.
Now that is too funny. Sorry man but two months late and they had balloons. You should have been ROTFL. Shem hotep.
Oh, lawd! That was too funny.
For years my employer always got my birthday wrong too. They kept thinking it was January 15 (MLK Day) when it’s actually January 13. They also wondered if I was sure.
