I've been planning a birthday surprise since the beginning of the month. Wendy, who plans birthdays for all of us in the office and puts in extra money when she don't get enough from everyone at the job. It's about time we celebrated her's or at least to thank her. I ended up collecting over a hundred for this woman, and been shopping for today's big surprise since last weekend.
She got balloons from Tonya, got a bouquet of pink roses, I ended up buying 2 cakes(Italian Rum/ and a 14 cheesecake sampler) , since it was going to be 15 people today. 3 bottles of sodas ( one diet ginger ale so she can drink too) , and some of her favorite snacks. (Pop corn, potato chips, and cheese puffs ). We topped it off with a birthday, which I made sure everyone who chipped in, signed it. Last but not least, because I was being savvy with the spending budget, had $50 to give her as well.
Today's birthday surprise was accomplished with great success ! She never saw it coming :D

Work wise..... 50 car party in the city, with party rates.... took 3 drivers from party, who are also from my weekend ESL class, to cover zone 54's big VIPs ...
Today felt great! I'm exhausted, since I got up super early to do everything and barely caught any sleep since I was still thinking how to deal with everything I need to do.... but it was worth it. :) She was happy. I was afraid that she would be angry, since she didn't want to celebrate her birthday and was very insisting on it.
Sad part of today, one of my nice drivers 544 called and said this was his last week. He found a full time office job and friday he will be in the office to finish paper works etc etc for leaving. So maybe I'll get to meet him before he leaves like Femi (but never got to see him) He left me his contact said to K.I.T., so sweet of him. I was so bummed out though.
One other downside to today... I forgot today was voting day....didn't realize it till I was shopping in Flushing for Wendy's birthday surprise; wanted to vote for John Liu for Mayor... just saw his campaign in the mail too.
