A few days ago I was called into my boss'  office (PB).  He wanted to thank me for organising a colleagues pending farewell lunch and card.  Seems he was going to ask me to do it anyway, but had not yet got around to it.  So he let me know he appreciated it.

So I go on to mention how it is another colleagues'  (a contractor no less) birthday the following Monday, and how I was organising a cake for him which would represent a particularly hard slog project he'd been working on with us. The aim was to celebrate his birthday and have a laugh about this project that had been driving him insane.

Smiling my boss then inquired when this "contractors" birthday was, and then how I knew this.
I told him I found out his birthday while discussing Master 5's falling also in the month of April.

PB followed on with the comment that oh Master 5's birthday this week, that would make him an ARIES!
"ah yer, I guess it would!"  I responded slightly bemused at this comment.
"Gee you're good with your star signs." I follow.
"Yes that would be because I'm one too."  He replies.  At this point I notice his eyes displaying a bit of disappointment?
"Oh you are?" I say thinking to myself quickly, ohhhh oh..... "So ah when's your birthday?" I say trying to recover my next salary bonus.
"I've already had it, " he says almost embarrassed.  "It was last week!" he blurts out sounding like he'd lost $10 and found $5.
"Oh really, okay." I reply trying to think of a quick recover comment.
"Well the cake could be for you too then, after all this Project bothered you too!" I say watching my career go down the tubes, and pop it's head up momentarily.
"Oh don't worry about it." He replies, "I had cake at home with family." He retorts.
"Okay, well I'd best get on with work." I say as I slowly back out of his office, wondering how the heck I got to be the one that discovered we ALL forgot PB's birthday....

Career Limiting Move (CLM) if I ever saw one!
