You want to celebrate your birthday at your place of work. I don\u2019t blame you. Then again, Mr. Mingle doesn\u2019t blame anyone. Who has time to waste on blaming when you could be out there mingling? Good Question, Mr. Mingle. Thanks, Mr. Mingle! (Mr. Mingle winks at his clone)<\/p>\n

\"Mr_Mingle\"<\/p>\n

Here is what I will do for you since I have nominated myself to be your life guide and trusty companion. Think of me as your life\u2019s Swiss army knife. Except I am not Swiss, so technically I am your British army knife. Some people call me BAK\u00a0for short. I have removed those people from my life.<\/p>\n

Without further ado, below are my top 5 ways to celebrate a birthday in style.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Throw a get together in a common area that everyone has access to in your workplace and invite everyone. Yes… even Dave from accounting. I know everyone hates Dave from accounting but invite him anyway.<\/li>\n
  2. Learn everyone\u2019s names beforehand so you can thank them personally. But Mr. Mingle, how can I possibly learn everyone\u2019s names? Simple, learn the easy ones and just call the rest of the people that show up pal and comrade.<\/li>\n
  3. Play a couple of birthday games to build team chemistry. This is a great way to separate the strong from the weak so you know who to work with on that next big work project.<\/li>\n
  4. Make sure you give your manager the largest piece of the cake. I know you love cake but so does your manager. Plus, who is more important, you or the person in charge of you? Exactly!<\/li>\n
  5. Make sure you are the last one to leave the party. I know, I know, Dave from accounting is always the last one to leave a room. Well tell Dave you need that pie chart in a different hue of blue. That should get him to evacuate the party premises.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    So there you have it. My 5 tips to celebrate your birthday at the office in style. Remember, Mr. Mingle is here for ya no matter what you need. Mingle is the name and Mingling is the game.<\/p>\n
