I turn 27 today. I don't think I've ever had a real birthday while I had a real job, so i chose to go the subdued route, i only told a couple people who i would consider friends, and the other people here (casual acquaintences) i hadn't told, and maybe even went out of my way to not tell. But I arrived here today dressed to the nines as per Heather's command because she has a surprise for me later on today...and the minute i sit down i get phone call from my friend Hart in AZ, to which i would have been overheard to exclaim, 'thank you, yes thank you, no i'm 27, thank you.' So had anyone i had NOT told overheard me, they might surmise that something was up.
Then Blair called me, and as i clumsily fumbled with my phone, i accidentally hit the speaker phone button, a button i didnt know the location of to turn off, and so her booming voice came through the speaker...
BLAIR
'hi happy birthday!'
NICK
'wait, i cant, i hit the speaker phone'
BLAIR
'get me off speaker phone!'
NICK
'i can't, i am trying!'
BLAIR
'happy birthday!'
NICK
'shut up!!!'
JASON, in cubicle next to me
'BUSTED! happy birthday to you!'
NICK
'blair, i'll call you back.'
