So the office manager asked me if I wanted to go to lunch today to scope out a place for our holiday party. (I went with her last year to do the same thing.) I was disappointed because the location was supposed to be the Cleveland Browns locker room, which she said fell through. How disappointing! B/c how cool would that have been?

Anyway, we get there and they immediately take us to the garden out back. And they say, "at the big table." Where there are people sitting already. Then I realize that it is people from my firm. Which doesn't mean anything to me - several of us are checking out the place for the Christmas party. And when I have no reaction, they say "Happy Birthday." I'm still confused. Yes, this is a normal reaction for me. Seriously, I have never had a surprise birthday anything before. That was seriously awesome. One of the nicest things that anyone has ever done.
