When I went in to work today, it was just like any other day.
I started unpacking some orders in the freezer, when Bill (my manager) comes to tell me Gina needs help from you on the computer. So I head back to help her and much to my surprise there is a chocolate cake with lit candle. Then everyone starts singing Happy Birthday to me! I was so red-faced. I couldn't stop smiling and my face was totally red! I didn't even know what to say...it was such a good feeling. I really like working there. I've work with so many nice people, it's almost like a great big family.
They gave me a card and everyone there signed it with personalized wishes and thoughts. Not like a standard card where everyone just says "Happy Birthday, So-and-So." It was filled with good luck wishes and heartfelt thoughts. I really was just floored by it all. I was practically speechless. I don't think I've ever felt that good in such a long time.
Gina made me a gluten-free chocolate cake with a strawberry topping. It was absolutely delicious!
My birthday isn't really until the 31st, but since she was going away on vacation she made it early for me. I have to say I really enjoyed that cake. :) I'm so grateful to work in such an awesome grocery store!
Tschuess!
