My Birthday Prank

Ok, my co-workers are CRAZY!!! Let me preface this story by saying that they desperately want to see me married with a family. They think I am too picky and get tired of me never following through with dates or crushes. They have tried to set me up with people, even having them come to work with them so I can "Meet them". They drive me nuts, but I know it's because they love me. Really, I should just keep my big mouth shut about men and they wouldn't know my business, but that bridge has already been crossed. Anyways, on to today...

So this morning I get to work and they have a cake for me. My boss brought me cinnamon rolls y'day since he was off today so I was surprised to get a cake too-- Until I saw the cake. It said "Happy Birthday, Kristy" then a clock in the middle with "tick-tock" at the bottom. I have to admit it was funny, but then they took it a step further. I had seen them all whispering amongst themselves, but thought maybe they were telling a joke I wouldn't want to hear. No such luck. I have to open up the window for customers at 8am, so I go out there and taped to the door is this big signs with balloons attached. "Happy Birthday to our 'single' clerk Kristy 1-800-Dr Phyllis."

(See, forever ago, during one of my lectures to Chuck about who knows what, he called me "Dr. Phyllis" to be funny. Well, in a moment of utter stupidity on my part, I told my co-workers & I will forever regret that mistake... they won't let it go!!!)

I just stopped dead in my tracks and was mortified. People had been coming in and out all morning long seeing this sign. I came back in and asked if someone was smoking crack or something because there was fixing to be some workplace violence going on. They all acted like they had no idea what I was talking about. They were almost rolling laughing so hard.

I immediately took down the sign amidst them protesting their innocence. Then later on, they had a clerk in Columbia come by and tell me that there was big sign up right by my house saying the same thing. Well, that wasn't true-- they just want to torture me... it's like working with my older brothers and cousins sometimes. They forget, though, that they have birthdays too... HE HE HE (imagine evil laughter).

I have had worse birthday pranks, mostly in college or by my cousins, but this one was good. I have to give it to them- they have imagination. Lol.
