The day started out like any other work day. I woke up, went to the gym, came home, showered and went to work. The minute I checked my day timer I realized "Shit! It's my boss's birthday". Damn!
It was too late to run out and grab muffin or coffee for him much less get a nice card. No sooner did I come to the realization about the day, who walks in but the man himself. He had a big grin on his face like he was a ten year old boy on his birthday.
Luckily I had the presence of mind to exclaim "Happy birthday Boss!"
"Thank you," he said "Let me grab a cup of coffee then we can have a meeting." He looked at me with that devilish smile again and headed out of the office.
Once we got settled in his office I felt uncomfortable and HAD to confess, "I forgot it was your birthday. I wanted to get you something but didn't get a chance. How about if I take you out to lunch?"
He immediately understood. He flashed me that smile again! What the hell was going on?
"Well, seeing as it IS my birthday...and you DID forget it, I have a request," he finally said.
"Sure, what is it? Anything. It's your BIRTHDAY!"
