A long day at work, where most people forgot about the birthday despite being reminded a week earlier. Followed by an empty house and a lot of friends being busy elsewhere. Heck, even my own mother forgot to call me back when other relatives of mine arrived at her place.
Let's just say it didn't feel much like a celebration.
My birthday-at-work strategy is to mention it at least once a day for the monthweek leading up to it and maybe inviting people to lunch/morning tea in celebration. Nothing like putting something constantly ni their faces to remind them!
