Many of my friends dread going to work on their birthdays – I even had one friend quit her job because her boss wouldn’t give her the day off! So I suppose I count myself lucky that I don’t mind coming into work on my birthday, and it’s my company’s fault. At my office we cherish birthdays. We bring in appetizers and finger food, bagels and donuts, juice, soda, sometimes coffee or cheese and crackers, and always dessert! In fact, we bring in enough food for a feast, as well as plenty of refreshments, and there is always a few signed-by-everyone birthday cards.
Celebrating a coworker’s or employee’s birthday is a great way to show your appreciation for that person’s efforts, and to show him or her that you’re excited about their contribution to your business. Business birthday cards are also a great keepsake, one that the recipient can set on his or her desk to remember that work can be fun, too! With so many cards to choose from, you should have no problem selecting the perfect birthday card at The Gallery Collection. They have cards that suit every company, and, if you can’t decide, they have assortment boxes, just for you!
We do the same thing at my office for employee birthdays. It’s great! We usually go a bit overboard and have leftover food to enjoy the next day. Just because you’re at work on your birthday doesn’t mean you can’t have fun.
I make it a personal goal never to work on my birthday. Fortunately I have never had a problem getting the day off! Maybe it’s a bit devious of me, because I work with a great bunch of people who still bring in goodies the day before or the day after. What can I say? We like to eat! The cards that are always stacked on my desk are a nice treat, too…
I hate working on my birthday but it’s in December which is our busiest time of the year. I hate the attention not to mention the fact that it means I am another year older. But I do love getting all of the cards from my co-workers and partaking of all the goodies everyone brings in.
I love the goodies also but it just seems there are so many birthdays bunched together then there is a long break until the next rush-anyway, it is great to celebrate with cards and lots of good food!
Taking a momentt to celebrate someone is always a good thing. It helps to have some great co workers to celebrate with.
