It was my birthday!!! Of course I had to work, which is always exciting. My day started out feeling like Samantha Baker in 16 Candles, I guess you could call it 17 candles. I woke up and had nobody text or call me for the next hour, my twin sister didn’t even realize that it was OUR birthday. Finally, my dad called me from work, he asked me if I was awake and then said “bye”. I thought this was hilarious, everyone had forgotten, every other year I wake up to tons of text messages and calls. I automatically told myself that I am just like Samantha Baker. My dad ended up frantically calling me, about an hour later, and he told me that he had completely forgotten. It was official, I was Samantha Baker, and at that moment I realized how lucky I was. I didn’t have to deal with people yelling it across the halls all day, and then me mumbling “you’ve never talked to me, get out of my face”. It worked out just the way I planned. When I arrived to work, only one co-worker remembered, but he thankfully didn’t make it a big deal, although, I did tell him to buy me a cake. I made it through the day alive, without the annoyance of having someone scream in your face that you are growing older.
