She looks forward to it every year and is very disappointed if we don\u2019t make a big deal about it. On the other hand, I can\u2019t say I ever loved my birthday \u2013 and I love it even less so as the years add up. I guess it beats the alternative but I was never one to look forward to my birthday. I don\u2019t like being in the spotlight and I don\u2019t like to receive gifts. At the beginning of every year I check the calendar and hope that my birthday falls on a weekend so that I miss all the hoopla that takes place at work \u2013 even though weekend birthdays are celebrated on Friday or Monday so your birthday cannot be avoided. But I have to say I do enjoy the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gallerycollection.com\/birthday-cards\/business-birthday-cards.htm\"><strong>business birthday cards<\/strong><\/a> I get from my boss each year. Having worked in the same company for 27 years that adds up to 26 cards and counting. Every year, without fail, when I arrive at work on my actual birthday, or the Friday or Monday before, there is a card for me waiting on my desk.<\/p>\n<p>My boss orders personalized birthday cards at the beginning of each year and he marks his calendar for all upcoming birthdays. Even though we all know we are getting a birthday card it is still a pleasant surprise to see the card waiting for us when we arrive at work. He orders birthday cards \u2013 his name and the company name are already printed &#8211; but then he adds some personal notes. This is what makes the birthday card so special. He tells us all the nice things he should be telling us all year long instead of just on our birthday. But hey, at least he tells us!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"I have a niece who loves her birthday.
