1. Really?
Group cards from coworkers?

No. Just no.

2. I like the cut of your jib, redqueen.
Cross your name off the front and pass it along.

3. I set it on fire when it gets to me.
Any indication a card ever existed is destroyed. Then, come the big day, the birthday boy or girl feels shunned and hated thus building resentment for their fellow co-workers. I, on the other hand, make a special trip to their desk/cube/office to offer a personal "Happy Birthday!" making their day and bolstering my importance and value to that colleague. Do that to enough folks over the course of the year, and you can be their king.

8. I've been known to go into my office from time to time.
I'd go in more often, but I hate wearing pants.

4. Is it one of those ones with different animals on it?
You know....the ones that say "Happy Birthday from Everybody here at the Zoo" and then there are cartoon character giraffes and hippos and zebras and snakes and hyenas? With those, I always sign my name on the giraffe character.

I just sort of like giraffes.

If there are no cartoon animals, then I say fuck it.

9. I'd be honored
I've never inspired a sig line before, I don't think. ;)

10. Other
I don't cross off my name, I don't sign. I simply stare at the person schlepping it around like they're out of their mind, bark out a quick laugh and go back to what I was doing.

Office birthday cards. My aching ass.
