A 40th Birthday Gift

[kybearfuzz]

Look at the good I do...
After my interview yesterday, a coworker came up to ask if I would buy the 40th birthday stuff for another fun coworker who is on vacation. Her 40th was Thursday of last week, but she's not due back in the office until Monday.

I was very tired, but thought this was too good to pass up. So after work I bought the standard "Over the Hill" helium balloons, black streamers, a styrofoam tombstone, the hot flash thermometer, and other necessarily accoutrements for her office.

The end product was done last night and I'm proud of it. She'll not be able to get to her desk for a while on Monday as I've webbed up her office from back to front and covered the floor in black balloons. My only regret is that I'm in DC next week and wont see her face or feel her wrath. Good times...

well done - the tombstone is a nice touch & is reusable for other milestone birthdays...

Thanks! We'll have a few more 40's in the coming years, so that tombstone will get used again :)

They're cheap, I'm sure they'll be able to find another if this one should vanish :D

I can't seem to decorate my own house, yet this comes so easily...

I was going to say the same thing. He does have the talent for entertainment and birthdays, doesn't he? I think I'm far enough away to avoid my next birthday.

When Mark turns 40 I see some major payback coming his way. ;)

You only THINK you're so far away. My powers are far-reaching! :)

among the over the hill things @ my 40th at work was a tube of hemorrhoid cream that expired in the 70's...

Geez! How long had someone been holding on to that!!!? :D

honestly, it's in the old "Over the Hill" birthday box decorations that is passed around my company.

I'll get to see it again in 6 years when I turn 50
