Today's my birthday, NBD. I spent it working, that's how I roll. (I've only been celebrating my birthday in various ways for like, 2 weeks already, anyways.) This morning the interns sang Happy Birthday really awkwardly so I left the meeting (for the record I did show my gratitude on my way out the door). This afternoon was the Staff Council annual retreat, which started with a fantastic lunch from Brick City Catering:

The feast included BBQ ribs, roast chicken, corn on the cob, salt potatoes, corn bread smothered in honey, and oh darn I ran out of room on my plate for the salads. Oh and watermelon, too! It was very summery and also very messy, but I managed not to get anything on my pretty dress (that's a first!).
The retreat was incredibly positive and productive, which actually made it rather uneventful (in a good way). All in all, a very successful retreat. During break time I was subjected to another round of Happy Birthday singing, this time even more awkward and reluctant than the interns. I couldn't leave this meeting though, so I had to sit there and blush through it; luckily I was rewarded in the end by being served the first plate of strawberries and angel food cake:

| That was worth it. |
And then I went on working and wrote this blog. The end! Happy birthday to me!
