Worst Birthday Ever.

And it started off so well too.
Thanks to all you LJers.

Thanks to everyone who posted and commented, sending me birthday wishes! I really appreciate it.

So yesterday @ work it was M's birthday, and we all celebrated and had cake. Then M joked and said, "We get to have cake twice since it's Richard's birthday tomorrow!" and everyone laughed and agreed.

Today was my birthday. I woke up, didn't feel any older, not surprised, and headed to work. I got there and was greeted with "Happy Birthdays" from everyone! It was really nice.

Now for the downhill part.

-Everyone that was supposed to go to dinner with me cancelled for one reason or another; all VALID reasons though
-At 1:00pm my hard drive @ work crashed, so from 1:00 until 6:00 all I could do was sit and watch the guy fix it. I'm an intern so I don't feel comfortable asking to go home early, and no one took the hint and let me go.
-I almost choked to death on spinach. I had to actually reach down my throat and pull out the huge/long strand. Surprisingly I didn't gag and make a scene.
-Everyone at work by the end of the day forgot about it being my birthday. No cake, no singing, no party. They apoligized but I was still really dissapointed.
-I went to the Castro to hopefully run into someone that would have dinner with me so I wouldn't have to eat alone. Of course it's the one night EVER that I didn't know a single person. I ended up eating 2 slices of pizza by myself.
-The guy I like never called me to wish me happy birthday.
-I went home and even my Uncle forgot, but he's on a lot of meds.

I know it's "Just a Day" and that I'll have plenty more....but for the first time in 5 years I was finally able to spend it with friends.
And I got my hopes up because I'm never able to, and everything went to shit.

Oh well. Tomorrow is a new day.
