Well, it's not that they forgot, it's more like they don't care. At my office when it's someones birthday we all go all out - balloons, bagels, brownies, cakes, donuts... you get the picture. Its ridiculous.
For me, someone left some left over haloween candy and a small box of munchkins on my desk. Monday was birthday of the woman behind me and she still has a desk covered in balloons and flowers. She's the one who brought me munchkins.
I know it's stupid and selfish but I feel like shit. This happened last year and I figured it was because of Sandy. But now I just feel like no one likes me (and people keep saying happy birthday so I know it's not that they didn't know). I feel like the kid alone at the lunchtable (which I will be come lunchtime, since my usual lunch buddy is out). I wish I had just taken off.
Re: I can't believe it, they f*cking forgot my birthday.
Next year I'm calling in sick.
But HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

This is mean I suppose but I can't believe how many people on here care so much about their birthdays.
Hugs!
If it makes you feel any better my office forgot my birthday all together. AND it was on a Monday this year:/ They made up for it by bringing a cake on one of my bosses bdays a few days later to also congratulate me on my B.S. Graduation. And I've worked with my manager 5 years. So I know the feeling.
I'd be hormonal and very upset if that happened at my work. They suck!
